A former officer of the Emperor's Hammer, '''Dante''' served as both [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]] and Prefect of the Hammer's Fist Legion. Having left the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and become a mercenary in the Outer Rim for a few years, Dante and his family have settled in the [[Cocytus System]] where he has affiliated with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. A tenacious warrior on the ground, Dante was very active in the defense and [[reclamation of Judecca]] from the Vong. Although well trained in the arts of the Dark Side, Dante is a soldier first, an Imperial second, and a practitioner of the Force last. He was killed during a Brotherhood campaign while fighting alongside [[Fremoc Pepoi]], and his son [[Kell Dante]] has never forgiven the [[Fist of the Brotherhood|Fist]] for his father's death.

== Character History ==
=== Growing up on Corellia ===
Born to an Imperial officer who was a veteran of the Clone Wars and a teacher, Dante grew up in a fairly stable home situation as his father was normally on the planet while his mother worked at a local school. He was a normal kid who enjoyed sports, games, and eventually girls as he got a bit older. His grades were excellent at school, and his one goal was to become an Imperial officer like his father. The day that his acceptance letter to the Imperial Academy was one of the happiest days of his life.

=== Imperial Academy ===
During his first year at the Academy everything was going extremely well until both of us parents died: his father in a shuttle crash and his mother from a rare disease that she contracted on a field trip with her class. After these tragedies, Dante threw himself into his studies. He steadily progressed through his courses, and he was ranked near the top of his class going into his final year. He graduated with honors and was commissioned a 2LT in the Stormtrooper Corps.

=== Service to the Galaxy ===
Dante considered the Imperial form of government the only way to control the galaxy and maintain order, and he followed this ideal throughout his time as a commander. He commanded a number of platoons before being put through Storm Commando training in 7 ABY. The now Captain Dante fought in numerous engagements against he forces of the freshly created New Republic, and he was rewarded with a promotion to the rank of Major in 10 ABY. With the rebirth of the Emperor, Dante felt as if the times were changing for the better as soon the chaos of the New Republic would be replaced again with the order of the Empire.

=== Leaving the Empire ===
That is when the Empire decided to come apart with the final death of the Emperor and the destruction of the last of the great superweapons of the Empire. Even though the New Republic forces hadn't managed to defeat all of the Imperial forces throughout the galaxy, Dante had decided that this version of the Empire wasn't going to last. He packed up his gear, resigned from the Army, and headed off to Corellia to find work as a bodyguard or a mercenary. As a former stormtrooper, work wasn't that hard to find, but it wasn't as easy or glamorous as he thought it would be.

=== Life as a Mercenary ===
After the training that he had received at the Academy, the technical aspect of being a corporate bodyguard wasn't hard, but the complete decadence that Dante experienced took some getting used to as he watched over the various executives to which he was assigned. During the years between his leaving the Empire and joining the forces of the Emperor's Hammer, Dante protected a number of these bigwhigs against assassination attempts, kidnappings, and bombings. After one such mission, a uniformed figure came up to him and introduced himself as a recruiter for a special operations unit that was with the Emperor's Hammer, a small part of the Imperial Remnant. The pay seemed good, and Dante had felt the longing for the camaraderie of a small unit. With that, he was on his way towards a new life in the Hammer's Fist Legion on Carrida II.

=== Imperial Remnant ===
After completing his basic combat training on Carrida II, Dante was first assigned to patrol duty on Carrida II for Operation Crimewatch. His duties were fairly mundane for awhile, but once the Legion go their marching orders he was on the first shuttle to Flint, a jungle planet on the edges of Emperor's Hammer space. The EH's regular units had been bogged down by heavy rains for almost a month before the Legion arrived with Dante and the rest of his fellow newbies in tow, and the troopers would stay for another month afterwards. On his first mission, the young trooper was paired with Lance Corporal Tacky on a recon sweep that soon went sour. Luckily, the intrepid pair were rescued by their comrades in Vengeance 2, and the New Republic forces were finally defeated on the nasty planet of Trent. This was the first of many in a series of battles that Dante would fight in for the Legion, and he steadily worked his way up the chain of command.

=== Clan Satal Keto and the 5th Great Jedi War: Before the Great Schism ===
Dante began his Dark Brotherhood career in House Aleema of Clan Satal Keto under the tutelage of Dark Jedi Knight Delak Krennel who was first his platoon commander and then company commander in the Hammer's Fist. Although he focused primarily on his duties as a stormtrooper, Dante was able to rise to the rank of Protector before the events of the Great Schism occurred. His exploits in the 4th Great Jedi War earned the young Dark Jedi a Dark Cross for his tenaciousness in battle. This would be the last time that he would be with his beloved clanmates as many soon departed the Emperor's Hammer for parts unknown, and Dante did not rejoin what was left of his clan as he put himself more into his ground pounder duties as a Company Commander in the Hammer's Fist.

=== Life Goes On ===
After the Exodus, Dante stayed in the Rogues as he was preoccupied with his ascension to glory in the Hammer's Fist. Battle after battle was fought between the Fist and the New Republic. Luckily, he managed to avoid any serious injury during these fights. He served in a number of positions from Company Commander to Commander of Training to the position of Commander of Operations for the Fist. Clan Satal Keto began to decline during this time, and he was invited by Hawk of Storms (TK-7764) to join Clan Arcona's House Qel-Droma. He took his friend up on this offer, and he began working on his path to becoming a Dark Jedi at a very slow pace. With the pace of combat operations being stepped up because of new action against what was termed the "Rogue Dark Brotherhood," Dante was unable to do much training in the Force. That was soon to change.
[[File:GoA-AngeloDante.jpg|thumb|224px|left|Dante's EHDB Grant of Arms]]

=== Rise to Power ===
With the retirement of Ares, a void was felt in the power structure of the Hammer's Fist. Mordred was named the new Prefect, and Dante became the new Executive Officer of the Regiment. After a short time, Mordred retired, and Angelo was named the Prefect of the Legion. This was a great period of expansion and revival for the Fist. New weapons systems, uniforms, and training courses were introduced. It was also during this time that the Nightstalkers were created. This small unit operated under the command of Decarat (or [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]) for a number of months before command was passed on. This unit still lives on as the Shadowstalkers, Dante's personal force of bodyguards. After a short tour as Prefect, Dante was transferred to the Advisory staff so that he could grow in the powers of the Dark Jedi. In Arcona, he also grew in power as he became a Dark Jedi Knight and served as Aedile of Galeres and Quaestor of House Oriens Obscurum before he was finally named Consul of the Shadow Clan. While Consul, he was also reassigned as the Prefect of the Fist for a second tour. This was a Golden age for Arcona as they destroyed both Clan Scholae Palatinae as well as Clan Alvaak, but the Hammer's Fist was being weakened through a series of engagements with enemy forces as well as a number of officer and senior enlisted expulsions by the Fleet Commander. These "mandatory retirements" by the Fleet Commander led to increased tension between the EH command staff and Dante. Soon, this "tension" would lead to Dante's leaving of the Emperor's Hammer for forever.
[[File:Dante hf dressuni.jpg|thumb|285px|right|Dante's Hammer's Fist Uniform]]

=== End of an Era ===
First came his second retirement as Prefect of the Hammer's Fist. Then came his retirement as Consul of Clan Arcona. As his obligations to the Emperor's Hammer decreased, his plans for what would come next in his life began coming together. Dante had amassed quite a fortune during his time in the Emperor's Hammer through shrewd investment in some property on Hoth of all things that he had bought in 100 acre portions in his early days as a trooper. With those earnings and those from some other investments, he and his wife were able to begin putting together what would become the foundation for their mercenary group. The plan was to head into the Unknown regions, find a planet that suited them, and then set up shop to be hired out. Just before the Dante's could enact their plan, their ally and the current Grand Master, Blade, was attacked by the Deputy Grand Master La'an. This led to Dante becoming reunited with many of his troopers in the Fist as he commanded the Hammer's Fist flotilla that was launched against the traitor, La'an. After the conclusion of this action, Dante returned to Carrida II, home of his beloved Legion, to find it completely destroyed. The investigation that followed led to another campaign against the attackers who turned out to be behind the plot to assassinate Blade as well. Finally rid of his obligations in the Emperor's Hammer, the Dante's left EH space with a number of ships and about a battalion of troopers for the unknown. As they were nearing the edge of EH territory he received a message from the Fleet Commander: You are hereby expelled from the Emperor's Hammer for bad mouthing me in public... With that, the flotilla jumped into hyperspace and into the Unknown Regions...

=== Journey into the Unknown ===
The Nightstalkers served as a mercenary group for many years throughout the Unknown Regions and the worlds of the Outer Rim. Most of their clients were planetary governments who didn't or couldn't have a standing army of their own with which to defend themselves. Through shrewd business sense and a good bit of luck, the Dante's and the Shadowstalkers managed to make a nice profit. They settled on a secluded world and set up shop there as they no longer had to look for customers.... they came looking for the group.
[[File:Dante.gif|thumb|207px|left|Ceremonial Nightstalker Armor]]

=== Return to the Brotherhood ===
After a mission near the Core Worlds, Dante received a message from his old friend Brent "Archangel" Tainer who was living on [[Judecca]] with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Arch had put out an open invitation years before when he had decided to leave the Emperor's Hammer, but Dante and his troopers had decided to become mercenaries in the Unknown Regions instead. After a number of years of fighting, the Shadowstalkers had decided that it was time for some R&R so the unit moved onwards to Judecca and placed themselves under the command of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As Archangel had recruited him, he joined House Caliburnus, and his family went to their new home on Judecca. Just a few short days later, their new lives would be turned upside down as the klaxons around the Cocytus System began going off. The blaring sirens warned of the coming of the dreaded Vong, and the Dante's, the Shadowstalkers, and the rest of the Dark Brotherhood would soon have their hands full.

=== 8th Great Jedi War ===
As Dante had just joined the clan, he wasn't in space with the rest of his new clansmen when the Vong began their invasion. Soon after the attack began, Dante and the infantry company he was commanding were sent to meet up with the remnants of the fleet. They managed to land on the CSP flagship, but the unit was almost immediately sent back to Judecca to help head off the invasion there. Dante's unit fought for the rest of the conflict on Judecca against the Incursion. Although they weren't able to defeat the invaders, they were able to contain them to certain areas of the planet. For his heroics in battle, Dante was elevated to Dark Jedi Knight at the conclusion of the conflict.

=== Reclamation of Judecca ===
Now that the Vong were contained, the next step for the members of Clan Scholae Palatinae was to drive out the invaders from the Cocytus System. Having just taken over command of the Nightmare Brigade, Dante led them to victory in a number of skirmishes throughout the system. After the end of the Reclamation, Dante resigned from his position and spent some time at home with his family in order to recuperate from the constant warfare that had been going on since his return to the Brotherhood. This break was short lived as he soon took on a position within the Chamber of Justice as the Left Hand of Justice. He was soon transferred from House Caliburnus to House Dorimad Sol, the traditional Obelisk House of the clan.

=== Feud with Caliburnus ===
[[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae]]After becoming more at home in his new position of Left Hand of Justice, Dante became more involved in his new House. During this time, he was assigned his friend, Camord, as his new apprentice. This reunion was short lived as a blood feud was declared between his current and former houses. Over a 3 week period, House Dorimad Sol dominated House Caliburnus, and they brought the larger house to its knees. Dante was given a number of honors for his bravery and expertise in battle including the title of "Gladiator of Scholae Palatinae, Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae, and a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Templar.

=== Independence Games of 29 ABY ===
The Independence Games are held in memory of the Exodus or the Great Split as it is known in the Emperor's Hammer. These games of skill pit the members of the various clans against one another for a month of combat and other challenges. Clan Scholae Palatinae dominated the competition with Dante winning the combat portion and being named the overall champion while Ylith of House Caliburnus, doing well in all of the events, came in a close second. It was a proud time for the members of Scholae Palatinae as they hoped to build on their placing in the games and rise above their place of 2nd Clan of the Brotherhood.

=== Uneasy Alliances & Clan Elevations ===
Dante was serving as the [[Left Hand of Justice]] in the Justicar's Office as well as Rollmaster of House Dorimad Sol, when he received the request to become [[Thran Occasus|Thran's]] Aedile when [[Prajna]] was forced to resign due to personal issues. As he was coming to the end of his term as LHOJ, Dante accepted the new position. Just as he was getting used to his new position, a call for help came from Clan Plagueis and Braecen as they were being overrun by the Vong. An expedition was mounted, and the Legions of Scholae Palatinae performed quite well in their first major combat engagement as they easily defeated the Vong as well as the Arconans who attempted to ambush both Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae. After the great victory, Phoenix eventually stepped down as Consul of the clan with Lucien taking over that position. This left Thran to move up into the Proconsul position, and Dante was elevated to the position of Quaestor of House Dorimad Sol.

=== Ninth Great Jedi War ===
The retaking of Antei had more twists and surprises than an amusement park ride. First, the Vong space forces around Antei were all dead or dying from a mysterious illness. Once they made it to Antei, there ended up being a droid army led by a cult of renegade Jedi. The clans were then informed that only the Dark Jedi and troops loyal to the Iron Throne would land on the planet as all clan forces had to stay in orbit. Dante ended up with a special forces unit that carried out strikes behind enemy lines for most of the war. The clans were ranked in order of the contributions that they made to the war effort, and Scholae Palatinae were in a three way battle with Arcona and Taldryan for the title of First Clan of the Brotherhood. The clan was narrowly defeated by their two rivals, but the retaking of Antei was a glorious expedition for the members of the Scholae Palatinae. Dante was named Third Hero of the war, and there were many other great honors spread around to other clan members. The hope was that the momentum from this warfare would lead to even greater honors in the upcoming Rite of Supremacy.

=== Spoils of War ===
Having left the Proconsul following the intense fighting within the Coctyus system during the uprising by the Cause, Dante concentrated his efforts on building up the armed forces and preparing them for the combat that would soon erupt on Salas V. The Dark Jedi of the clan had become apathetic since their near victory during the Great Jedi War as well as from the losses suffered during the insurgency of the Cause. This was soon apparent as the clan finished the Rite of Supremacy at the bottom of the listing of clans barely defeating Plagueis in head to head combat. Even with the veterans such as RevengeX, Dante, and Solus Gar working with the newcomers of the clan such as Kael Fayne, the clan suffered defeat against both Taldyran and Tarentum as many of the clan's Dark Jedi were killed or went missing during the battle for Salas V.

=== Clan Transformation ===
Following the clan's defeat, many of the surviving members of Scholae Palatinae left as the Emperor became more and more vacant in his duties. Dante was asked to come back as the Aedile in House Dorimad Sol to try and return the House to its greatness. Due to a dispute between Robin Hawk and the Grand Master, the Dark Paladin was once again named as the Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. He would serve in this capacity until Scholae Palatinae, along with the other clans, were forced to become independent Houses due to the losses that were sustained by the entire Brotherhood following Salas V.

=== Death and Legacy ===
When sent on a mission to find out information on Michael Halcyon, Dante was killed in action through the incompetent actions of the Fist, Fremoc Pepoi. Honored as a hero, Dante was given a state funeral in the Cocytus System. Upon his death, Dante's son, [[Kell Dante]] took over his positions including his place amongst the Palpatines.

== Character Info ==
=== Description ===
Dante is normally seen around the Brotherhood wearing black fatigues, a flight suit, or various types of full body armor. His blondish-brown hair is starting to show the signs of a silvery gray on his temples, and it is still cut in a military style crew cut as it has been for the past 30+ years.

=== Demeanor and Philosophy ===
Although he has long trained in the ways of the Dark Side, Dante still considers himself a soldier first, and a Dark Jedi second. He firmly believes in the code of Obelisk as this merges well with the sense of honor that he prides himself on as a professional soldier. Many outsiders find Dante's philosophy to be an odd choice, but almost everyone who has served under his command still would do almost anything for him. His faith in the Imperial system is also very strong, and the former stormtrooper will always feel that the Empire will rise again and take its rightful place in the galaxy.

A former officer of the Emperor's Hammer, '''Dante''' served as both [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]] and Prefect of the Hammer's Fist Legion. Having left the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and become a mercenary in the Outer Rim for a few years, Dante and his family have settled in the [[Cocytus System]] where he has affiliated with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. A tenacious warrior on the ground, Dante was very active in the defense and [[reclamation of Judecca]] from the Vong. Although well trained in the arts of the Dark Side, Dante is a soldier first, an Imperial second, and a practitioner of the Force last. He was killed during a Brotherhood campaign while fighting alongside [[Fremoc Pepoi]], and his son [[Kell Dante]] has never forgiven the [[Fist of the Brotherhood|Fist]] for his father's death.

== Character History ==
=== Growing up on Corellia ===
Born to an Imperial officer who was a veteran of the Clone Wars and a teacher, Dante grew up in a fairly stable home situation as his father was normally on the planet while his mother worked at a local school. He was a normal kid who enjoyed sports, games, and eventually girls as he got a bit older. His grades were excellent at school, and his one goal was to become an Imperial officer like his father. The day that his acceptance letter to the Imperial Academy was one of the happiest days of his life.

=== Imperial Academy ===
During his first year at the Academy everything was going extremely well until both of us parents died: his father in a shuttle crash and his mother from a rare disease that she contracted on a field trip with her class. After these tragedies, Dante threw himself into his studies. He steadily progressed through his courses, and he was ranked near the top of his class going into his final year. He graduated with honors and was commissioned a 2LT in the Stormtrooper Corps.

=== Service to the Galaxy ===
Dante considered the Imperial form of government the only way to control the galaxy and maintain order, and he followed this ideal throughout his time as a commander. He commanded a number of platoons before being put through Storm Commando training in 7 ABY. The now Captain Dante fought in numerous engagements against he forces of the freshly created New Republic, and he was rewarded with a promotion to the rank of Major in 10 ABY. With the rebirth of the Emperor, Dante felt as if the times were changing for the better as soon the chaos of the New Republic would be replaced again with the order of the Empire.

=== Leaving the Empire ===
That is when the Empire decided to come apart with the final death of the Emperor and the destruction of the last of the great superweapons of the Empire. Even though the New Republic forces hadn't managed to defeat all of the Imperial forces throughout the galaxy, Dante had decided that this version of the Empire wasn't going to last. He packed up his gear, resigned from the Army, and headed off to Corellia to find work as a bodyguard or a mercenary. As a former stormtrooper, work wasn't that hard to find, but it wasn't as easy or glamorous as he thought it would be.

=== Life as a Mercenary ===
After the training that he had received at the Academy, the technical aspect of being a corporate bodyguard wasn't hard, but the complete decadence that Dante experienced took some getting used to as he watched over the various executives to which he was assigned. During the years between his leaving the Empire and joining the forces of the Emperor's Hammer, Dante protected a number of these bigwhigs against assassination attempts, kidnappings, and bombings. After one such mission, a uniformed figure came up to him and introduced himself as a recruiter for a special operations unit that was with the Emperor's Hammer, a small part of the Imperial Remnant. The pay seemed good, and Dante had felt the longing for the camaraderie of a small unit. With that, he was on his way towards a new life in the Hammer's Fist Legion on Carrida II.

=== Imperial Remnant ===
After completing his basic combat training on Carrida II, Dante was first assigned to patrol duty on Carrida II for Operation Crimewatch. His duties were fairly mundane for awhile, but once the Legion go their marching orders he was on the first shuttle to Flint, a jungle planet on the edges of Emperor's Hammer space. The EH's regular units had been bogged down by heavy rains for almost a month before the Legion arrived with Dante and the rest of his fellow newbies in tow, and the troopers would stay for another month afterwards. On his first mission, the young trooper was paired with Lance Corporal Tacky on a recon sweep that soon went sour. Luckily, the intrepid pair were rescued by their comrades in Vengeance 2, and the New Republic forces were finally defeated on the nasty planet of Trent. This was the first of many in a series of battles that Dante would fight in for the Legion, and he steadily worked his way up the chain of command.

=== Clan Satal Keto and the 5th Great Jedi War: Before the Great Schism ===
Dante began his Dark Brotherhood career in House Aleema of Clan Satal Keto under the tutelage of Dark Jedi Knight Delak Krennel who was first his platoon commander and then company commander in the Hammer's Fist. Although he focused primarily on his duties as a stormtrooper, Dante was able to rise to the rank of Protector before the events of the Great Schism occurred. His exploits in the 4th Great Jedi War earned the young Dark Jedi a Dark Cross for his tenaciousness in battle. This would be the last time that he would be with his beloved clanmates as many soon departed the Emperor's Hammer for parts unknown, and Dante did not rejoin what was left of his clan as he put himself more into his ground pounder duties as a Company Commander in the Hammer's Fist.

=== Life Goes On ===
After the Exodus, Dante stayed in the Rogues as he was preoccupied with his ascension to glory in the Hammer's Fist. Battle after battle was fought between the Fist and the New Republic. Luckily, he managed to avoid any serious injury during these fights. He served in a number of positions from Company Commander to Commander of Training to the position of Commander of Operations for the Fist. Clan Satal Keto began to decline during this time, and he was invited by Hawk of Storms (TK-7764) to join Clan Arcona's House Qel-Droma. He took his friend up on this offer, and he began working on his path to becoming a Dark Jedi at a very slow pace. With the pace of combat operations being stepped up because of new action against what was termed the "Rogue Dark Brotherhood," Dante was unable to do much training in the Force. That was soon to change.
[[File:GoA-AngeloDante.jpg|thumb|224px|left|Dante's EHDB Grant of Arms]]

=== Rise to Power ===
With the retirement of Ares, a void was felt in the power structure of the Hammer's Fist. Mordred was named the new Prefect, and Dante became the new Executive Officer of the Regiment. After a short time, Mordred retired, and Angelo was named the Prefect of the Legion. This was a great period of expansion and revival for the Fist. New weapons systems, uniforms, and training courses were introduced. It was also during this time that the Nightstalkers were created. This small unit operated under the command of Decarat (or [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]) for a number of months before command was passed on. This unit still lives on as the Shadowstalkers, Dante's personal force of bodyguards. After a short tour as Prefect, Dante was transferred to the Advisory staff so that he could grow in the powers of the Dark Jedi. In Arcona, he also grew in power as he became a Dark Jedi Knight and served as Aedile of Galeres and Quaestor of House Oriens Obscurum before he was finally named Consul of the Shadow Clan. While Consul, he was also reassigned as the Prefect of the Fist for a second tour. This was a Golden age for Arcona as they destroyed both Clan Scholae Palatinae as well as Clan Alvaak, but the Hammer's Fist was being weakened through a series of engagements with enemy forces as well as a number of officer and senior enlisted expulsions by the Fleet Commander. These "mandatory retirements" by the Fleet Commander led to increased tension between the EH command staff and Dante. Soon, this "tension" would lead to Dante's leaving of the Emperor's Hammer for forever.
[[File:Dante hf dressuni.jpg|thumb|285px|right|Dante's Hammer's Fist Uniform]]

=== End of an Era ===
First came his second retirement as Prefect of the Hammer's Fist. Then came his retirement as Consul of Clan Arcona. As his obligations to the Emperor's Hammer decreased, his plans for what would come next in his life began coming together. Dante had amassed quite a fortune during his time in the Emperor's Hammer through shrewd investment in some property on Hoth of all things that he had bought in 100 acre portions in his early days as a trooper. With those earnings and those from some other investments, he and his wife were able to begin putting together what would become the foundation for their mercenary group. The plan was to head into the Unknown regions, find a planet that suited them, and then set up shop to be hired out. Just before the Dante's could enact their plan, their ally and the current Grand Master, Blade, was attacked by the Deputy Grand Master La'an. This led to Dante becoming reunited with many of his troopers in the Fist as he commanded the Hammer's Fist flotilla that was launched against the traitor, La'an. After the conclusion of this action, Dante returned to Carrida II, home of his beloved Legion, to find it completely destroyed. The investigation that followed led to another campaign against the attackers who turned out to be behind the plot to assassinate Blade as well. Finally rid of his obligations in the Emperor's Hammer, the Dante's left EH space with a number of ships and about a battalion of troopers for the unknown. As they were nearing the edge of EH territory he received a message from the Fleet Commander: You are hereby expelled from the Emperor's Hammer for bad mouthing me in public... With that, the flotilla jumped into hyperspace and into the Unknown Regions...

=== Journey into the Unknown ===
The Nightstalkers served as a mercenary group for many years throughout the Unknown Regions and the worlds of the Outer Rim. Most of their clients were planetary governments who didn't or couldn't have a standing army of their own with which to defend themselves. Through shrewd business sense and a good bit of luck, the Dante's and the Shadowstalkers managed to make a nice profit. They settled on a secluded world and set up shop there as they no longer had to look for customers.... they came looking for the group.
[[File:Dante.gif|thumb|207px|left|Ceremonial Nightstalker Armor]]

=== Return to the Brotherhood ===
After a mission near the Core Worlds, Dante received a message from his old friend Brent "Archangel" Tainer who was living on [[Judecca]] with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Arch had put out an open invitation years before when he had decided to leave the Emperor's Hammer, but Dante and his troopers had decided to become mercenaries in the Unknown Regions instead. After a number of years of fighting, the Shadowstalkers had decided that it was time for some R&R so the unit moved onwards to Judecca and placed themselves under the command of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As Archangel had recruited him, he joined House Caliburnus, and his family went to their new home on Judecca. Just a few short days later, their new lives would be turned upside down as the klaxons around the Cocytus System began going off. The blaring sirens warned of the coming of the dreaded Vong, and the Dante's, the Shadowstalkers, and the rest of the Dark Brotherhood would soon have their hands full.

=== 8th Great Jedi War ===
As Dante had just joined the clan, he wasn't in space with the rest of his new clansmen when the Vong began their invasion. Soon after the attack began, Dante and the infantry company he was commanding were sent to meet up with the remnants of the fleet. They managed to land on the CSP flagship, but the unit was almost immediately sent back to Judecca to help head off the invasion there. Dante's unit fought for the rest of the conflict on Judecca against the Incursion. Although they weren't able to defeat the invaders, they were able to contain them to certain areas of the planet. For his heroics in battle, Dante was elevated to Dark Jedi Knight at the conclusion of the conflict.

=== Reclamation of Judecca ===
Now that the Vong were contained, the next step for the members of Clan Scholae Palatinae was to drive out the invaders from the Cocytus System. Having just taken over command of the Nightmare Brigade, Dante led them to victory in a number of skirmishes throughout the system. After the end of the Reclamation, Dante resigned from his position and spent some time at home with his family in order to recuperate from the constant warfare that had been going on since his return to the Brotherhood. This break was short lived as he soon took on a position within the Chamber of Justice as the Left Hand of Justice. He was soon transferred from House Caliburnus to House Dorimad Sol, the traditional Obelisk House of the clan.

=== Feud with Caliburnus ===
[[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae]]After becoming more at home in his new position of Left Hand of Justice, Dante became more involved in his new House. During this time, he was assigned his friend, Camord, as his new apprentice. This reunion was short lived as a blood feud was declared between his current and former houses. Over a 3 week period, House Dorimad Sol dominated House Caliburnus, and they brought the larger house to its knees. Dante was given a number of honors for his bravery and expertise in battle including the title of "Gladiator of Scholae Palatinae, Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae, and a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Templar.

=== Independence Games of 29 ABY ===
The Independence Games are held in memory of the Exodus or the Great Split as it is known in the Emperor's Hammer. These games of skill pit the members of the various clans against one another for a month of combat and other challenges. Clan Scholae Palatinae dominated the competition with Dante winning the combat portion and being named the overall champion while Ylith of House Caliburnus, doing well in all of the events, came in a close second. It was a proud time for the members of Scholae Palatinae as they hoped to build on their placing in the games and rise above their place of 2nd Clan of the Brotherhood.

=== Uneasy Alliances & Clan Elevations ===
Dante was serving as the [[Left Hand of Justice]] in the Justicar's Office as well as Rollmaster of House Dorimad Sol, when he received the request to become [[Thran Occasus|Thran's]] Aedile when [[Prajna]] was forced to resign due to personal issues. As he was coming to the end of his term as LHOJ, Dante accepted the new position. Just as he was getting used to his new position, a call for help came from Clan Plagueis and Braecen as they were being overrun by the Vong. An expedition was mounted, and the Legions of Scholae Palatinae performed quite well in their first major combat engagement as they easily defeated the Vong as well as the Arconans who attempted to ambush both Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae. After the great victory, Phoenix eventually stepped down as Consul of the clan with Lucien taking over that position. This left Thran to move up into the Proconsul position, and Dante was elevated to the position of Quaestor of House Dorimad Sol.

=== Ninth Great Jedi War ===
The retaking of Antei had more twists and surprises than an amusement park ride. First, the Vong space forces around Antei were all dead or dying from a mysterious illness. Once they made it to Antei, there ended up being a droid army led by a cult of renegade Jedi. The clans were then informed that only the Dark Jedi and troops loyal to the Iron Throne would land on the planet as all clan forces had to stay in orbit. Dante ended up with a special forces unit that carried out strikes behind enemy lines for most of the war. The clans were ranked in order of the contributions that they made to the war effort, and Scholae Palatinae were in a three way battle with Arcona and Taldryan for the title of First Clan of the Brotherhood. The clan was narrowly defeated by their two rivals, but the retaking of Antei was a glorious expedition for the members of the Scholae Palatinae. Dante was named Third Hero of the war, and there were many other great honors spread around to other clan members. The hope was that the momentum from this warfare would lead to even greater honors in the upcoming Rite of Supremacy.

=== Spoils of War ===
Having left the Proconsul following the intense fighting within the Coctyus system during the uprising by the Cause, Dante concentrated his efforts on building up the armed forces and preparing them for the combat that would soon erupt on Salas V. The Dark Jedi of the clan had become apathetic since their near victory during the Great Jedi War as well as from the losses suffered during the insurgency of the Cause. This was soon apparent as the clan finished the Rite of Supremacy at the bottom of the listing of clans barely defeating Plagueis in head to head combat. Even with the veterans such as RevengeX, Dante, and Solus Gar working with the newcomers of the clan such as Kael Fayne, the clan suffered defeat against both Taldyran and Tarentum as many of the clan's Dark Jedi were killed or went missing during the battle for Salas V.

=== Clan Transformation ===
Following the clan's defeat, many of the surviving members of Scholae Palatinae left as the Emperor became more and more vacant in his duties. Dante was asked to come back as the Aedile in House Dorimad Sol to try and return the House to its greatness. Due to a dispute between Robin Hawk and the Grand Master, the Dark Paladin was once again named as the Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. He would serve in this capacity until Scholae Palatinae, along with the other clans, were forced to become independent Houses due to the losses that were sustained by the entire Brotherhood following Salas V.

=== Death and Legacy ===
When sent on a mission to find out information on Michael Halcyon, Dante was killed in action through the incompetent actions of the Fist, Fremoc Pepoi. Honored as a hero, Dante was given a state funeral in the Cocytus System. Upon his death, Dante's son, [[Kell Dante]] took over his positions including his place amongst the Palpatines.

== Character Info ==
=== Description ===
Dante is normally seen around the Brotherhood wearing black fatigues, a flight suit, or various types of full body armor. His blondish-brown hair is starting to show the signs of a silvery gray on his temples, and it is still cut in a military style crew cut as it has been for the past 30+ years.

=== Demeanor and Philosophy ===
Although he has long trained in the ways of the Dark Side, Dante still considers himself a soldier first, and a Dark Jedi second. He firmly believes in the code of Obelisk as this merges well with the sense of honor that he prides himself on as a professional soldier. Many outsiders find Dante's philosophy to be an odd choice, but almost everyone who has served under his command still would do almost anything for him. His faith in the Imperial system is also very strong, and the former stormtrooper will always feel that the Empire will rise again and take its rightful place in the galaxy.

Dante: /* Kell Palpatine Dante */

2016-08-05T05:06:28Z

Dante:

To earn the [[Title#Clan_Titles|Clan title]] of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Imperial Clan, the Royal Family.

Those who achieve the '''Legacy of Palpatine''', current and former, are detailed here.

Much of his foresight has guided this Clan to where it is today and has unified us as a whole.

The Petitor Umbrarum Corporation was founded by Angelo Dante while a member of the General Staff of the Hammer's Fist.

Starting at first in the entertainment industry with a single gentlemen's club on Carrida II, Petitor Umbrarum has spread out into numerous fields ranging from entertainment to the manufacturing of shuttle craft.

Locations of the various subcorporations exist on planets within Emperor's Hammer territory, the Imperial Remnant, the New Republic, and Dark Brotherhood territory.

== Big Daddy's ==
While an enlisted stormtrooper with the Hammer's Fist Legion on Carrida II, Dante and his squadmates were always on the lookout for any gentlemen's clubs that they could find. Even though it was the premier training planet for stormtroopers in the Emperor's Hammer, there just wasn't a very good club on the planet. As Dante progressed in rank and became an officer, he finally was able to start putting away some money and ended up buying his first bar. In honor of his favorite club of all time, Dante named his club "Big Daddy's." After a couple of years and a few promotions, Dante was able to start two more locations before his decision to take his [[Shadowstalkers]] out into the mercenary trade full-time.

Almost as soon as he landed on Judecca, Dante started up his fourth location of Big Daddy's, and then branched out both Caina and a new location on Aurora Prime. Following the opening of House Imperium, the company opened up a new location on the Isle of Dleacht, the new headquarters for Imperium.

Big Daddy's now has eight locations throughout the known galaxy:

* Carrida II (ABY 18)
* Carrida II (ABY 19)
* Coronado (ABY 19)
* Judecca - Ohm City (ABY 25)
* Caina (ABY 26)
* Aurora Prime (ABY 30)
* Bastion (ABY 30)
* Judecca - Isle of Dleacht (ABY 39)

== Petitor Umbrarum Space Systems Yard ==
Located on Caina, PUSSY is busy in the research, development, and production of the Zulu IV class shuttle craft as well as the LAAT/SOC for use by the military forces of Clan Scholae Palatinae.

=== Zulu IV Class Assault Shuttle ===
The Zulu Class of shuttles has been a longtime production line for the Petitor Umbrarum Corporation. With the first prototype being built at the small scale production facility on Carrida II, the Shadow Works, the Zulu was always a success. The first three version all are hyperdrive capable, but in response to the intra-system needs of the Legions, the Zulu IV was developed.

With the massive buildup of the Clan's military forces following the Vong Incursion, a need was developed for a way to get large numbers of troopers from the fleet down to the surface of a planet. The Legions also needed something that could provide fire support as well without compromising troop mobility. To fill this gap in the hardware owned by Clan Scholae Palatinae, Phoenix and Lucien gave the go ahead for the development and production of a new series of gunships based on the proven LAAT/I design. What was developed was something that met all of their requirements and more.

The Isle of Dleacht is an uninhabited island floating just off the coast of Olcas and is three hundred miles out from the nearest point of the shore. It is considered to be [[Judecca]] biggest island. It is also the new home of [[House Imperium]] of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. Scientists feel that the ocean life may be valuable to the rest of the planet's ecosystem so it has been left mildly untouched.

== House Imperium Base ==
[[file:base_ink.jpg |250px]]
<br>
[[House Imperium]] was founded shortly after the Great Jedi War of 38 ABY and [[Kell Dante]] was quickly selected to be its first Quaestor. Dante quickly decided that this uninhabited island would make the perfect place to plant a base of operations on [[Judecca]]. The base quickly planted roots and several new buildings were erected.

In order to service the members of the various groups that are now temporarily stationed on the Isle, the [[Petitor Umbrarum]] Corporation has brought in one of the most recognizable clubs in the Cocytus System: Big Daddy's. Currently, the club has a gentlemen's section, a ladies' section, and a mixed area with dancing. There is also a full service buffet bar that many patrons enjoy during their visit to the establishment.

With the restoration of Scholar Palatinae to clan status, House Imperium was formed to further the goals of the Emperor and the Empire within the [[Cocytus System]]. Imperial to the core, each member of the house serves the Empire in a secondary capacity such as in the military, intelligence agency, or the bureaucracy that keeps the Empire going on a daily basis.

===Founding===
Created immediately following the end of [[Darth Ashen|Darth Ashen's]] reign, Houses Imperium and Excidium were formed to serve the needs of the Emperor after Scholae Palatinae's re-clanning. [[Koryn Thraagus]] was given command of Excidium while Kell Palpatine Dante was named as the first leader of House Imperium.

===Entanglements===
Soon after the creation of the two houses, there was an uprising on [[Ptolomea]] that required the combined efforts of all of the clan's members. It was put down quickly and efficiently by the [[Imperial Scholae Guard]] and the Dark Jedi of the clan, but it did lead to a rather slow start up for the house's formation.

===Red Fury===
After a series of pirate attacks against both [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and Clan Scholae Palatinae, the two aggrieved clans went forth in battle to smite the interstellar thieves.

After an exhaustive search of locations, Kell and Zagro decided to build their new house's headquarters on the uninhabited island of [[Judecca#Dleacht|Dleacht]] in the northern hemisphere of [[Judecca]].

Children of Palpatine

2015-03-09T22:51:49Z

Dante:

To earn the [[Title#Clan_Titles|Clan title]] of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Royal Clan, the Royal Family.

The '''Children of Palpatine''', current and former, are detailed here.

Much of his foresight has guided this Clan to where it is today, and has unified us as a whole. As one of the first to swear eternal loyalty to the Clan, Scholae Palatinae is proud to name him the Son of Palpatine.

One of the longest consistently active leaders of Scholae Palatinae, Xen'Mordin has demonstrated unwavering loyalty to Brotherhood and Clan. For four years, both he and Archangel, were regarded as unofficial Sons of Palpatine. Following Scholae Palatinae's reclanning in 38 ABY, it was quickly made official.

Saitou was one of the first to be named Son of Palpatine, along with Cooch. He served Scholae Palatinae for a great deal of time in various positions, providing influence far beyond what most have done.

After Phoenix's elevation to Consul, Lucien was elevated to ProConsul and later Consul, where he worked on, amongst other things, the Royal Gazette, the CSP newsletter and doing extensive work on the military.

=== War ===
==== Second Darkness ====
At length, the Clans and their fleets were summoned to [[Antei]] by [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]] in order to test them in light of the worrying rumors of an extra-galactic invasion. Under the codename Operation [[Second Darkness]], Sarin persuaded the clans that the object of the exercise was to judge which Clan was most fit to guard the [[The Shroud|Shroud]]. Scholae Palatinae fought hard, earning a well deserved second, a great improvement on their previous Vendetta placing. Believing themselves able to relax, the Clans congregated on the Dark Council’s VSD [[Vae Victus]] for the award ceremony. The Royal Clan had barely left the ship before a titanic fleet entered the Antei system, a fleet commanded by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]].

On board the [[VSD Excidium]], [[Braecen Kaeth]] ordered the Arconan [[M/STRKC Eye of the Abyss|Eye of the Abyss]] crippled to prevent the enemy from pursuing his fleet, regardless of the wider impact such an action would have. In desperation, the Clans were ordered into the Shroud, famous for it’s negative effect on navigation. Drunk and terrified for his wife, the Quaestor [[Thran Occasus]] of House Caliburnus was locked away until [[Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven|Rasilvenaira]], could soothe him. At a hastily called meeting, [[Impetus]] and Adam Anderson were named Dark Paladins before Natth a’Niel and Ood revealed a critical finding: The small void that the Vong Fighters created to shield themselves from enemy hits could be overcome by three perfectly timed blasts.

Once again, Braecen decided to utilise the Arconan fleet to his Clan’s advantage, deciding to keep their fleet as a buffer between Scholae Palatinae and the Yuuzhan Vong. Beyond this, the Deputy Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] had been captured and was at that very moment being tortured in the Embrace of Pain, having valiantly covered the Clan withdrawal. The battered fleet limped back to the [[Cocytus System]] to find it ravaged by the Yuuzhan Vong. To make matters worse, a blood-thirsty [[Timbal]] had pursued the Clan Fleet, destroyed [[VAC Emperor's Sword|Emperor’s Sword]] and was running on a destructive rampage around the system. The Royal Clan was saved from further destruction by the direct order of the Grand Master, commanding that all forces cease fire. Sarin initiated the [[Braata Option]], necessitating the evacuation and abandonment of [[Antei]].

==== Reclamation of Judecca ====
With the Braata option in play, the Royal Clan turned its attention back to its own ravaged system. Braecen gave orders for the Dark Jedi to reclaim their system, only to be usurped by [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine|Phoenix]] who believed that the Consul had lost his grip on sanity. Taking Lucien as his Proconsul, Phoenix led the armies down to [[Judecca]] whilst Braecen led the fleet on a mad game of hide-and-seek with the Vong. A team of Dark Jedi were sent to the Meditation Shrine on Judecca with orders to retrieve three of their own held captive there. They were successful and the Vong in that area were exterminated.

Lucien then initiated Operation Dragon’s Claw, sending House Acclivis Draco to re-take the Valley of Silence on [[Antenora]], House Caliburnus to retake the Alberigo Outpost, and House Dorimad Sol to destroy a Vongforming station on [[Caina]]. All three were successful but before they could lick their wounds, Phoenix received a garbled communication from Braecen that changed the nature of the war. Only knowing that it had something to do with Vong Shapers, he gave orders to each Quaestor to capture a Shaper.

[[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] was ordered to retake the Temple of the Rakata which was believed to contain a group of shapers. [[Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven|Rasilvenaira]] was sent to cleanse the Blood Forest on [[Ptolomea]] and capture a Shaper there. Koskian and Dorimad Sol, caught in the midst of the Vong-infested Caina had the pick of many Shapers but caught one from the group he was engaged in fighting. During the Shaper operation, a team of Dark Jedi cleared the Judeccan moon Brutus which the Vong had taken as their jump point to [[Judecca]].

[[File:Excidium2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Nebula-Class Star Destroyer]]

Each Quaestor came to the Consul with a Shaper in tow and after five strenuous hours of torture, the first one broke. It revealed that the Vong army had planned to close as many trade routes to other Brotherhood planets as possible, believing that the Clan was tied up at Antei. As the battles ended, a sizable fleet jumped out of hyperspace, led by Braecen at the helm of a [[starwars:Nebula-class_Star_Destroyer|Nebula-class Star Destroyer]]. The former Consul then left the system, heading to Clan Plagueis to take the role of Consul there as Phoenix took was promoted from Proconsul to Consul.

==== Uneasy Alliances ====
In the Jusadih system, reports began to emerge of sightings of [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] on the borders of Clan [[Plagueis]] space territory. The new Consul of Plagueis, Braecen Kaeth sent word to the Consul of Scholae Palatinae, [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine]] asking him for assistance.

Phoenix agreed and assembled the Clan’s ships. Upon the arrival of the fleet to the Jusadih system, they sensed a void in the nearby Nimban system. They suspected that the Yuuzhan Vong had somehow managed to learn about their fleet, but it later turned out to be the expeditionary task force of Clan [[Arcona]], led by its Consul, [[Mejas Doto]] who had combined the power of the Arconan Elders to cloak the fleet and it’s Force presence.

[[File:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Clan Arcona's Insignia]]

The Arconans had a spy in the Scholae Palatinae army and learned that their fleet was leaving the Cocytus System, so they came to the system in order to strike its fleet down and take over their territory as a new home, instead of the one they lost due to Yuuzhan Vong attack.

[[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire Brigade]] infiltrated [[NSD Excidium II|Excidium II]] in order to sabotage it, but thanks to a hasty discussion with Angelo Dante, Mejas realised his elite were in shackles. He had no choice but to propose an alliance with Scholae Palatinae to wipe the Vong out.

However, it was only a mask to conceal his true plans. [[Soulfire Strike Team|Soulfire Brigade]] was still aboard the CSP flagship, waiting for the proper moment to intervene. The battle with the Yuuzhan Vong fleet lasted for several hours and the joint forces of the Clans were victorious. It was at that moment, when Soulfire Brigade took over a turbolaser array and fired upon Plagueis warships.

The battle was almost poised to resume again, when the armada of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], which had been called by the treacherous summit of Clan [[Arcona]], arrived to settle the escalating conflict. Today, members of the Royal Clan all wonder what the result of the battle would have been between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis, had it been allowed to begin.

==== Rise of a Rebellion ====
It came to pass that soon after the alliance between [[Plagueis]] and Scholae Palatinae, [[Phoenix d'Tana Palpatine]]retired, leaving the position of Consul to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien]]. Lucien took as his Proconsul the silver-tongued [[Thran Occasus]], which many considered dangerous given how much he coveted the throne. Lucien held the throne for a year, ushering in a brief period of stability. This was brought to an end swiftly by the rise of a rebellion, a cliqued class war waged by disillusioned workers hitting out at the “bourgeoisie”. Bombings took place along with kidnappings and assassinations, all targeted against the Imperial administration. Lucien abdicated, many believe due to Thran’s influence which earned him the title of “the Usurper”. However, all thoughts of the rebellion were struck from the Clan’s mind when a communiqué from the Grand Master arrived…

==== Unification ====
Nearly three years after the Fall of [[Antei]] the clans of the [[Dark Brotherhood]] were called upon once again by [[starwars:Darth|Darth]] [[Sarin]]. He along with the Dark Council had decided to move all the fleets of the Brotherhood through the shroud using the combined power of all the elders. Scholae Palatinae left Radama Void to answer to Sarin’s call to take back [[Antei]]. The fleet was guided by the elders for two days, and though tricky, Scholae Palatinae’s fleet managed to get through the Shroud only to come across a new puzzling fact; that the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was completely disabled. During this time, Fleet Admiral [[Timbal]] was publicly dismissed by Thran, with [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Surface Marshal Archangel]] taking command of the [[Warspite]] in his place.

[[File:ISD_II.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warspite]]

Scholae Palatinae’s forces touched down just seconds before [[Omancor Crask|Crask]]’s forces attacked. A relentless battle ensued at what the Brotherhood called, “Operation Nek” which the clan needed to win to secure the beachhead. Once the beachhead was secure the clan pushed the Jedi forces back until they reached “Objective Revir” which was an anti-aircraft fortification. Once the clan managed to wipe out the remaining Jedi forces within the fortress they found themselves surrounded by Jedi reinforcements. Cut off from the rest of the Brotherhood and extra supplies the clan dug into the fortress to prepare for the coming battle.

During “Operation Granite Dusk,” as it came to be known, hundreds of Jedi and Dark Jedi were slaughtered, but Scholae Palatinae eventually managed to defeat the Jedi forces and push them back, so they could be reinforced by their fellow clan [[Naga Sadow]]. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to work with [[Naga Sadow]] to complete “Objective Strill” which proved difficult for many of the darksiders from both clans, due to past feuds between the [[Naga Sadow]] and CSP. While they battled many Jedi forces it was reported that more than a few of the Dark Jedi from both clans had turned on each other whenever they got the chance and slaughtered one another.

Though hard, the clans managed to complete the objective, and gathered theintelligence that the Brotherhood needed to make a final push to end the war. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to take back “Objective Uller”, the [[Obelisk]] “Black Pyramid” called Temple Boyna. A fierce battle took place with Crask’s remaining forces inside the temple putting up a good fight. Outnumbered and out gunned, Crask's forces fell. Scholae Palatinae took back the temple, and the war came to an end shortly after with the death of [[Omancor Crask]]. Now all that was left was to rebuild what had been lost.

==== Interim ====
The absence of the majority of the Dark Jedi had had wide implications on [[Judecca]]. The rebellion had grown far bolder, even advertising themselves to the Judeccan public. Rumors spread of financing by a rival Clan, providing better weapons for the insurgents. The rebellion turned its attention to [[Ptolomea]], home to House Caliburnus which at that time was the weakest of the three Houses. A concentrated assault left the House devastated, and Thran gave orders for its immediate closure to save it. The Clan’s Homeland Security was given unlimited scope to do whatever it took to bring the rebellion down. At a great cost of lives, the ringleaders were eventually brought before the [[Consul]] for a personal execution.

After years of constant combat, the Dark Jedi and the troopers of the Imperial Armed Forces were beginning to falter. High casualty rates, defections to other clans, and the retirements of many leaders or long term members had taken their toll on the combat effectiveness of the Clan. It was in this down time that a [[Rite of Supremacy]] was called to decide who would have the honor of ridding [[Salas V]] of an infestation of [[starwars:Killik|Killiks]].

After a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], Scholae Palatinae managed to hold their own in combat in a free-for-all situation against both Tarentum and Plagueis. Even as the clan finally was able to make progress towards the end of the Rite, Scholae Palatinae finished as the sixth of seven clans only besting Clan Plagueis. The forces of Scholae Palatinae returned to the Cocytus system, dejected and dishonored but looking towards reclaiming their place among the top clans.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#33 ABY|late 33 ABY]], the [[Master at Arms]], on the orders of the Grand Master initiated a purge, wiping out those suspected of treason. The results astounded everyone; more than four hundred people disappeared from Brotherhood space. The Clans were decimated and by mutual agreement, [[Muz Ashen]] downsized every Clan to an Independent House, the former Houses to [[Battleteam|Battleteams]]. Scholae Palatinae had had no choice but to comply. Thran abdicated, leaving the throne for his Proconsul. The old Neti [[Ood Bnar Sythe'rae]] became the first Quaestor of House Scholae Palatinae in decades.

== The Battleteams of Clan Scholae Palatinae ==
[[File:Dragon-shield.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Emblem of Acclivis Draco]]

=== Battleteam Acclivis Draco ===
{{Main|[[Acclivis Draco]]}}

Few more hallowed halls of Krath supremacy can be found than in the home of Acclivis Draco, at [[Dragon's Citadel]]. This monument to their control over [[Antenora]] serves as a reminder of their power, their fortitude, and their understanding of the Dark Arts. Many dangerous Krath have walked those halls, and many more will walk them in the future.

Now, reduced to a simple Battleteam, the Krath of Acclivis Draco must leave their tomes, and fight, for their honour and themselves.

* Tetarch: [[Koryn Thraagus]]

[[File:Caliburnuslogo1.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Shield of Caliburnus]]

=== Battleteam Caliburnus ===
{{Main|[[Caliburnus]]}}

Caliburnus, once a thriving and powerful Sith House, had fallen from favour with the Clan Summit, after failing to quell a rebellion which led to widespread devestation and death on the planet of [[Ptolomea]]. The Clan Summit, enraged at this sheer lack of dedication, dissolved the House immediately, throwing it's members to the four winds.

But now, after the reformation of the Clans into Houses, Caliburnus has risen again, a phoenix from the ashes, to take it's rightful place as First Battleteam of Scholae Palatinae.

* Tetrarch: [[Evant Taelyan]]



== Sons and Daughters of Palpatine ==

To earn the House title of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of Scholae Palatinae. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Royal House, the Royal Family.

== Consuls and Proconsuls ==
=== Servants of the Clan ===
Throughout the duration of Clan Scholae Palatinae's existence, great individuals have stepped forward to lead the Clan: through desperate situations, times of reformation or eras of war within the Brotherhood. While enough can never be said for their sacrifices, no legacy that personifies their dedication - they are all held responsible for the Clan as it is today. The Consuls and Proconsuls have been replaced by Quaestors and Aediles after the reduction of Clans into Houses in 33 ABY.

== Traditions ==
=== The Animals ===
HSP is generally known amongst the Brotherhood as the "Animal House," either derisively or in acknowledgment of our affinity towards animals. Traditionally the House has had quite a stable of animals amongst them, and function as pets, guards, and in some cases important additions to the House’s rosters, even in an unofficial manner.

From surveillance, to sabotage, to out-right raw combat power, our animals come in extremely handy. Everyone who rises within the House eventually comes to terms with this and embraces this fully, further continuing this strongest of House traditions.

=== Drinking Traditions ===
There is one drinking tradition that has almost become sacrosanct amongst the House. This is usually done when a person has received either a promotion or a high-ranking medal. The ceremony is performed without the prior knowledge or consent of the newly awarded person. This involves a member of long-time standing toasting the newly awarded person, then immediately saying, "All drinks on [insert name of newly awarded person here]!" Then all present toss their alcoholic drinks on the newly awarded person, then the member that called "All Drinks" lights the doused newly awarded person on fire. This is usually a source of great merriment to all except the newly awarded person, but the fire is quickly put out, and if there is any damage all the Jedi present join together to heal the person.

== House Force Powers ==
The House Force Powers are based on the three Holocrons given to the House by previous leaders of the Dark Brotherhood.

* [[Holocron of Vengeance]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to summon Imperial Sentinels, monsterous guardians who could protect a powerful enough summoner.
* [[Holocron of Detonation]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to rupture cells, rip skin, or even tear limbs from unwilling bodies. In the hands of the most powerful of the House's Dark Jedi, this is a truely devestating and horrifying weapon.
* [[Holocron of Nature]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to alter the growth of seeds, to command plants and trees at a whim, or cause a sudden 'explosion' of growth or withering around the user.

Scholae Palatinae fought hard, earning a well deserved second, a great improvement on their previous Vendetta placing. Believing themselves able to relax, the Clans congregated on the Dark Council’s VSD [[Vae Victus]] for the award ceremony. The Royal Clan had barely left the ship before a titanic fleet entered the Antei system, a fleet commanded by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]].

Once again, Braecen decided to utilise the Arconan fleet to his Clan’s advantage, deciding to keep their fleet as a buffer between Scholae Palatinae and the Yuuzhan Vong. Beyond this, the Deputy Grand Master, [[Muz Ashen]] had been captured and was at that very moment being tortured in the Embrace of Pain, having valiantly covered the Clan withdrawal. The battered fleet limped back to the [[Cocytus System]] to find it ravaged by the Yuuzhan Vong. To make matters worse, a blood-thirsty [[Timbal]] had pursued the Clan Fleet, destroyed [[VAC Emperor's Sword|Emperor’s Sword]] and was running on a destructive rampage around the system.

Once the beachhead was secure the clan pushed the Jedi forces back until they reached “Objective Revir” which was an anti-aircraft fortification. Once the clan managed to wipe out the remaining Jedi forces within the fortress they found themselves surrounded by Jedi reinforcements. Cut off from the rest of the Brotherhood and extra supplies the clan dug into the fortress to prepare for the coming battle.

During “Operation Granite Dusk,” as it came to be known, hundreds of Jedi and Dark Jedi were slaughtered, but Scholae Palatinae eventually managed to defeat the Jedi forces and push them back, so they could be reinforced by their fellow clan [[Naga Sadow]]. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to work with [[Naga Sadow]] to complete “Objective Strill” which proved difficult for many of the darksiders from both clans, due to past feuds between the [[Naga Sadow]] and CSP. While they battled many Jedi forces it was reported that more than a few of the Dark Jedi from both clans had turned on each other whenever they got the chance and slaughtered one another.

Though hard, the clans managed to complete the objective, and gathered theintelligence that the Brotherhood needed to make a final push to end the war. Scholae Palatinae was ordered to take back “Objective Uller”, the [[Obelisk]] “Black Pyramid” called Temple Boyna. A fierce battle took place with Crask’s remaining forces inside the temple putting up a good fight. Outnumbered and out gunned, Crask's forces fell. Scholae Palatinae took back the temple, and the war came to an end shortly after with the death of [[Omancor Crask]]. Now all that was left was to rebuild what had been lost.

==== Interim ====
The absence of the majority of the Dark Jedi had had wide implications on [[Judecca]]. The rebellion had grown far bolder, even advertising themselves to the Judeccan public. Rumors spread of financing by a rival Clan, providing better weapons for the insurgents. The rebellion turned its attention to [[Ptolomea]], home to House Caliburnus which at that time was the weakest of the three Houses. A concentrated assault left the House devastated, and Thran gave orders for its immediate closure to save it. The Clan’s Homeland Security was given unlimited scope to do whatever it took to bring the rebellion down. At a great cost of lives, the ringleaders were eventually brought before the [[Consul]] for a personal execution.

After years of constant combat, the Dark Jedi and the troopers of the Imperial Armed Forces were beginning to falter. High casualty rates, defections to other clans, and the retirements of many leaders or long term members had taken their toll on the combat effectiveness of the Clan. It was in this down time that a [[Rite of Supremacy]] was called to decide who would have the honor of ridding [[Salas V]] of an infestation of [[starwars:Killik|Killiks]].

After a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]], Scholae Palatinae managed to hold their own in combat in a free-for-all situation against both Tarentum and Plagueis. Even as the clan finally was able to make progress towards the end of the Rite, Scholae Palatinae finished as the sixth of seven clans only besting Clan Plagueis. The forces of Scholae Palatinae returned to the Cocytus system, dejected and dishonored but looking towards reclaiming their place among the top clans.

In [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#33 ABY|late 33 ABY]], the [[Master at Arms]], on the orders of the Grand Master initiated a purge, wiping out those suspected of treason. The results astounded everyone; more than four hundred people disappeared from Brotherhood space. The Clans were decimated and by mutual agreement, [[Muz Ashen]] downsized every Clan to an Independent House, the former Houses to [[Battleteam|Battleteams]]. Scholae Palatinae had had no choice but to comply. Thran abdicated, leaving the throne for his Proconsul. The old Neti [[Ood Bnar Sythe'rae]] became the first Quaestor of House Scholae Palatinae in decades.

== The Battleteams of Clan Scholae Palatinae ==
[[File:Dragon-shield.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Emblem of Acclivis Draco]]

=== Battleteam Acclivis Draco ===
{{Main|[[Acclivis Draco]]}}

Few more hallowed halls of Krath supremacy can be found than in the home of Acclivis Draco, at [[Dragon's Citadel]]. This monument to their control over [[Antenora]] serves as a reminder of their power, their fortitude, and their understanding of the Dark Arts. Many dangerous Krath have walked those halls, and many more will walk them in the future.

Now, reduced to a simple Battleteam, the Krath of Acclivis Draco must leave their tomes, and fight, for their honour and themselves.

* Tetarch: [[Koryn Thraagus]]

[[File:Caliburnuslogo1.gif|thumb|100px|left|The Shield of Caliburnus]]

=== Battleteam Caliburnus ===
{{Main|[[Caliburnus]]}}

Caliburnus, once a thriving and powerful Sith House, had fallen from favour with the Clan Summit, after failing to quell a rebellion which led to widespread devestation and death on the planet of [[Ptolomea]]. The Clan Summit, enraged at this sheer lack of dedication, dissolved the House immediately, throwing it's members to the four winds.

But now, after the reformation of the Clans into Houses, Caliburnus has risen again, a phoenix from the ashes, to take it's rightful place as First Battleteam of Scholae Palatinae.

* Tetrarch: [[Evant Taelyan]]



== Sons and Daughters of Palpatine ==
{{Main|[[Children of Palpatine]]}}

To earn the House title of Palpatine is to receive a badge of honor that is paramount within the walls of Scholae Palatinae. As guardians of the Palpatine line, protectors of his Dark Side knowledge and advocates to the execution of his will - those whom bear the Dark Lord's name do so after establishing themselves as prominent and loyal members of the Royal House, the Royal Family.

== Consuls and Proconsuls ==
=== Servants of the Clan ===
Throughout the duration of Clan Scholae Palatinae's existence, great individuals have stepped forward to lead the Clan: through desperate situations, times of reformation or eras of war within the Brotherhood. While enough can never be said for their sacrifices, no legacy that personifies their dedication - they are all held responsible for the Clan as it is today. The Consuls and Proconsuls have been replaced by Quaestors and Aediles after the reduction of Clans into Houses in 33 ABY.

== Traditions ==
=== The Animals ===
HSP is generally known amongst the Brotherhood as the "Animal House," either derisively or in acknowledgment of our affinity towards animals. Traditionally the House has had quite a stable of animals amongst them, and function as pets, guards, and in some cases important additions to the House’s rosters, even in an unofficial manner.

From surveillance, to sabotage, to out-right raw combat power, our animals come in extremely handy. Everyone who rises within the House eventually comes to terms with this and embraces this fully, further continuing this strongest of House traditions.

=== Drinking Traditions ===
There is one drinking tradition that has almost become sacrosanct amongst the House. This is usually done when a person has received either a promotion or a high-ranking medal. The ceremony is performed without the prior knowledge or consent of the newly awarded person. This involves a member of long-time standing toasting the newly awarded person, then immediately saying, "All drinks on [insert name of newly awarded person here]!" Then all present toss their alcoholic drinks on the newly awarded person, then the member that called "All Drinks" lights the doused newly awarded person on fire. This is usually a source of great merriment to all except the newly awarded person, but the fire is quickly put out, and if there is any damage all the Jedi present join together to heal the person.

== House Force Powers ==
The House Force Powers are based on the three Holocrons given to the House by previous leaders of the Dark Brotherhood.

* [[Holocron of Vengeance]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to summon Imperial Sentinels, monsterous guardians who could protect a powerful enough summoner.
* [[Holocron of Detonation]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to rupture cells, rip skin, or even tear limbs from unwilling bodies. In the hands of the most powerful of the House's Dark Jedi, this is a truely devestating and horrifying weapon.
* [[Holocron of Nature]] - This Holocron conveyed the power to alter the growth of seeds, to command plants and trees at a whim, or cause a sudden 'explosion' of growth or withering around the user.

In the year 36 ABY, Brotherhood systems were attacked by former Grandmaster [[Zoraan]]. Following his death and the capture of his flagship, the SSD Avenger II, One Sith Sleeper agents within the Brotherhood initiated a long planned attack. Every Brotherhood system felt the sting of a coordinated attack to removed the leadership and defenses of the Brotherhoood. [[Muz Ashen]] issued orders to all leaders of the Brotherhood. The time to strike out from the home systems had come. The Dark Crusade to claim ancient Sith Worlds, and route out the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] had come.

Scholae Palatinae answered the call along with the other units in the Brotherhood. Fighting valiantly on multiple planets along side their brothers, they helped reclaim several planets for the Brotherhood. Their deeds and those of their brethren are found here.

== Pre-Crusade ==
For over a decade, One Sith forces infiltrated Brotherhood space. Slowly they filled ranks within all Brotherhood units, Sleeper agents waiting for the time to strike. They would strike at the heart of the leadership of the Brotherhood, hoping to bring it all down. They had one goal, destroy the Brotherhood before it became a bigger threat to the One Sith’s ideals and the teachings of [[starwars:Darth Krayt|Darth Krayt]].

In 36 ABY, former Grandmaster Zoraan attacked the Brotherhood with a large force. Every system became infected by Lysu Thren’s [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon plague]]. His attack was without mercy. Civilian death toll alone was over 30 million. He was slain by Grandmaster Muz Ashen shortly before [[Macron|Macron Shadow]] developed a cure to the terrible plague.

=== SSD Avenger II ===
[[File:AvengerIIRear.jpg|thumb|left|200 px|The Avenger II]]
{{Main|[[Dark Crusade - Prologue|Assault on the Avenger II]]}}

The Brotherhood had taken terrible losses. In an attempt to recoup some of their lost firepower, multiple strike teams boarded Zoraan’s flagship, SSD Avenger II. They stroke quickly while it was attempting to flee the Shroud. A team comprised mainly of Naga Sadow members and a sole Palatinaean, Archangel boarded. They secured the hanger from the Dark Jedi twins, Reaper and Frost. After more forces landed, including the Deputy Grandmaster Raken, they moved forward to disable the security on the ship.

Dark Adept Dantella Novae, a powerful Elder, hampered their progress. While other strike teams dealt with general forces this singular team had to subdue this powerful Elder. Novae used her abilities to control Kalia and set the team fighting one of their own. Through the use of a mind meld and dark side snare they managed to subdue the elder to be extracted by other Brotherhood forces.

The team shaken, made their way to the bridge. There they faced Zoraan’s apprentice, Darth Necar a severely demented man with near Grandmaster level ability. Along with him there were [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentatek]] to deal with. Between a powerful Sith Lord and the formidable sithspawn, it was nearly the end for the Brotherhood forces, but a thermal detonator along with a breach in the bridge’s hull led to the demise of Darth Necar. While it took many members to secure the Avenger II, the highest honors were given to this singular team for successfully removing the greatest threat on the ship. While forces were primarily Naga Sadow, Archangel brought great pride and honor to Scholae Palatinae for being part of this team.

The full roster of this team was:
*[[Kalia Pepoi]]
*[[Atra Ventus]]
*[[Araxis Farron]]
*[[Methyas_Pepoi_L%27eonheart|Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]]
*[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]

=== A Call to Arms ===

It was at this time the sleeper One Sith agents received their call to attack. Traitors in every system began the attack. It began with disabling security, deactivating defense droids, rigging surveillance. The Brotherhood was made more vulnerable than it had ever been before.

Then came the suicide attackers. Agents on every planet began targeting high priority members. For Scholae Palatinae they saw an officer attack his superiors at Fort Hammer on [[Ptolomea]] before killing himself. It was only the beginning. Assassin struck at the key Dark Council and unit Leaders. Solari’s mechanical body was broken to bits at the Academy. Fremoc was wounded at the spike. Raken was attacked by a large group of assassins, and left bloody and tattered. The Halls of the Royal Palace on Judecca came under siege. The Scholae Palatinae forces reacted swiftly to secure their leaders and powerful members. The entire Brotherhood was left in a panic to prevent a total downfall. But the subterfuge and assassinations failed. The Brotherhood was wounded, but very much alive. Alive and hungry for vengeance.

Then the call came. Muz Ashen issued the order. The Brotherhood was going on the offensive. Not even the One Sith and Darth Krayt could get away with attempting an attack like this. Scholae Palatinae prepared its forces for the first phase of the attack and set its sight on Nfolgai.

== Home System Impact ==

There is an ongoing influence within the [[Cocytus System]] due to the House’s involvement in the Dark Crusade, though the long term impacts are yet to be fully understood. Due to the absence of the Dark Jedi exerting control of local politics and economy activity there are those who unknowingly are starting to find successes where they had previously found resistance.

[[file:Ohmen-undercity.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Ohmen, Judecca undercity and heart of organized crime in the Cocytus System.]]
=== Organized Crime ===

The House Summit of Scholae Palatinae allows certain individuals to thrive and find success with minor crime syndicates to keep balance within the system. Through planted membership and back door relationships these crime channels are allowed to exist to give an outlet for black market activities to provide supply and keep others from popping up.

As this network has been neglected in the Dark Crusade, as the Dark Jedi call to arms to find glory elsewhere in the galaxy, actual talent has begun to make inroads into this system. Beyond the two main criminal organizations which are propped up by the Dark Jedi there is a third which has begun a rise to power beyond their control.

The long term impact is unknown, or how widespread this influence is due to its nature and still remains out of the attention of the Scholae Palatinae summit. The majority of this pain is felt by the existing organizations that relied on Dark Jedi influence for success and inherently lack individual ability to exert fear and power necessary to maintain control.

[[file:Judecca-military-supply-warehouse.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Empty military supply warehouse on Judecca following military departure for the Dark Crusade.]]
=== Political Unrest ===

Prior to the Dark Crusade there were One Sith attacks following the Horizon Crisis which put the entire system on alert. The residents of the system were not expecting a series of seemingly pointless terrorist attacks against their system. Nearly all the planets of the system had reported terrorist activity but none more heavily attacked than Judecca.

The military response to the attack was quick and prompt and sightings of soldiers in the streets of Ohmen became commonplace for up to weeks following. This was quickly followed by their absence not only from the streets but from local bases. Normally full of their armies they were now down to the skeleton crews running the bases. The majority had been called into service to the Dark Crusade.

Under the guise of a retaliatory strike against the terrorists the military had been called into the service of the Dark Crusade, as had the majority of the Dark Jedi within Scholae Palatinae. This left an absence of both military strength and formidable military leaders. Not just the absence of the people but the comforting sight of the House fleet watching over the small system had not been seen since.

Suspicious began to rise as weeks turned to months. The Senate had been without its Emperor at its head for some time now, and their ability to respond to issues and domestic disputes rose. People began to worry about additional terrorist attacks against a limited military influence and fear began to quickly spread. People began to question where the military and politicians were and what was going on.

All these concerns got worse when local military bases began to aggressively recruit additional soldiers. A call to arms to support the anti-terrorism campaign abroad. As the Dark Crusade continues the level of unrest continues to swell. Although not yet at a breaking point continued absence will most certainly have long lasting impacts on the level of trust within the system. Though no catalyst has presented itself to set into actions that chain of events.

But the subterfuge and assassinations failed. The Brotherhood was wounded, but very much alive. Alive and hungry for vengeance.

Then the call came. Muz Ashen issued the order. The Brotherhood was going on the offensive. Not even the One Sith and Darth Krayt could get away with attempting an attack like this. Scholae Palatinae prepared its forces for the first phase of the attack and set its sight on Nfolgai.

== Home System Impact ==

There is an ongoing influence within the [[Cocytus System]] due to the House’s involvement in the Dark Crusade, though the long term impacts are yet to be fully understood. Due to the absence of the Dark Jedi exerting control of local politics and economy activity there are those who unknowingly are starting to find successes where they had previously found resistance.

[[file:Ohmen-undercity.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Ohmen, Judecca undercity and heart of organized crime in the Cocytus System.]]
=== Organized Crime ===

The House Summit of Scholae Palatinae allows certain individuals to thrive and find success with minor crime syndicates to keep balance within the system. Through planted membership and back door relationships these crime channels are allowed to exist to give an outlet for black market activities to provide supply and keep others from popping up.

As this network has been neglected in the Dark Crusade, as the Dark Jedi call to arms to find glory elsewhere in the galaxy, actual talent has begun to make inroads into this system. Beyond the two main criminal organizations which are propped up by the Dark Jedi there is a third which has begun a rise to power beyond their control.

The long term impact is unknown, or how widespread this influence is due to its nature and still remains out of the attention of the Scholae Palatinae summit. The majority of this pain is felt by the existing organizations that relied on Dark Jedi influence for success and inherently lack individual ability to exert fear and power necessary to maintain control.

[[file:Judecca-military-supply-warehouse.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Empty military supply warehouse on Judecca following military departure for the Dark Crusade.]]
=== Political Unrest ===

Prior to the Dark Crusade there were One Sith attacks following the Horizon Crisis which put the entire system on alert. The residents of the system were not expecting a series of seemingly pointless terrorist attacks against their system. Nearly all the planets of the system had reported terrorist activity but none more heavily attacked than Judecca.

The military response to the attack was quick and prompt and sightings of soldiers in the streets of Ohmen became commonplace for up to weeks following. This was quickly followed by their absence not only from the streets but from local bases. Normally full of their armies they were now down to the skeleton crews running the bases. The majority had been called into service to the Dark Crusade.

Under the guise of a retaliatory strike against the terrorists the military had been called into the service of the Dark Crusade, as had the majority of the Dark Jedi within Scholae Palatinae. This left an absence of both military strength and formidable military leaders. Not just the absence of the people but the comforting sight of the House fleet watching over the small system had not been seen since.

Suspicious began to rise as weeks turned to months. The Senate had been without its Emperor at its head for some time now, and their ability to respond to issues and domestic disputes rose. People began to worry about additional terrorist attacks against a limited military influence and fear began to quickly spread. People began to question where the military and politicians were and what was going on.

All these concerns got worse when local military bases began to aggressively recruit additional soldiers. A call to arms to support the anti-terrorism campaign abroad. As the Dark Crusade continues the level of unrest continues to swell. Although not yet at a breaking point continued absence will most certainly have long lasting impacts on the level of trust within the system. Though no catalyst has presented itself to set into actions that chain of events.

In the year 36 ABY, Brotherhood systems were attacked by former Grandmaster [[Zoraan]]. Following his death and the capture of his flagship, the SSD Avenger II, One Sith Sleeper agents within the Brotherhood initiated a long planned attack. Every Brotherhood system felt the sting of a coordinated attack to removed the leadership and defenses of the Brotherhoood. [[Muz Ashen]] issued orders to all leaders of the Brotherhood. The time to strike out from the home systems had come. The Dark Crusade to claim ancient Sith Worlds, and route out the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] had come.

Scholae Palatinae answered the call along with the other units in the Brotherhood. Fighting valiantly on multiple planets along side their brothers, they helped reclaim several planets for the Brotherhood. Their deeds and those of their brethren are found here.

== Pre-Crusade ==
For over a decade, One Sith forces infiltrated Brotherhood space. Slowly they filled ranks within all Brotherhood units, Sleeper agents waiting for the time to strike. They would strike at the heart of the leadership of the Brotherhood, hoping to bring it all down. They had one goal, destroy the Brotherhood before it became a bigger threat to the One Sith’s ideals and the teachings of [[starwars:Darth Krayt|Darth Krayt]].

In 36 ABY, former Grandmaster Zoraan attacked the Brotherhood with a large force. Every system became infected by Lysu Thren’s [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon plague]]. His attack was without mercy. Civilian death toll alone was over 30 million. He was slain by Grandmaster Muz Ashen shortly before [[Macron|Macron Shadow]] developed a cure to the terrible plague.

=== SSD Avenger II ===
[[File:AvengerIIRear.jpg|thumb|left|200 px|The Avenger II]]
{{Main|[[Dark Crusade - Prologue|Assault on the Avenger II]]}}

The Brotherhood had taken terrible losses. In an attempt to recoup some of their lost firepower, multiple strike teams boarded Zoraan’s flagship, SSD Avenger II. They stroke quickly while it was attempting to flee the Shroud. A team comprised mainly of Naga Sadow members and a sole Palatinaean, Archangel boarded. They secured the hanger from the Dark Jedi twins, Reaper and Frost. After more forces landed, including the Deputy Grandmaster Raken, they moved forward to disable the security on the ship.

Dark Adept Dantella Novae, a powerful Elder, hampered their progress. While other strike teams dealt with general forces this singular team had to subdue this powerful Elder. Novae used her abilities to control Kalia and set the team fighting one of their own. Through the use of a mind meld and dark side snare they managed to subdue the elder to be extracted by other Brotherhood forces.

The team shaken, made their way to the bridge. There they faced Zoraan’s apprentice, Darth Necar a severely demented man with near Grandmaster level ability. Along with him there were [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentatek]] to deal with. Between a powerful Sith Lord and the formidable sithspawn, it was nearly the end for the Brotherhood forces, but a thermal detonator along with a breach in the bridge’s hull led to the demise of Darth Necar. While it took many members to secure the Avenger II, the highest honors were given to this singular team for successfully removing the greatest threat on the ship. While forces were primarily Naga Sadow, Archangel brought great pride and honor to Scholae Palatinae for being part of this team.

The full roster of this team was:
*[[Kalia Pepoi]]
*[[Atra Ventus]]
*[[Araxis Farron]]
*[[Methyas_Pepoi_L%27eonheart|Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]]
*[[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]

=== A Call to Arms ===

It was at this time the sleeper One Sith agents received their call to attack. Traitors in every system began the attack. It began with disabling security, deactivating defense droids, rigging surveillance. The Brotherhood was made more vulnerable than it had ever been before.

Then came the suicide attackers. Agents on every planet began targeting high priority members. For Scholae Palatinae they saw an officer attack his superiors at Fort Hammer on [[Ptolomea]] before killing himself. It was only the beginning. Assassin struck at the key Dark Council and unit Leaders. Solari’s mechanical body was broken to bits at the Academy. Fremoc was wounded at the spike. Raken was attacked by a large group of assassins, and left bloody and tattered. The Halls of the Royal Palace on Judecca came under siege. The Scholae Palatinae forces reacted swiftly to secure their leaders and powerful members. The entire Brotherhood was left in a panic to prevent a total downfall. But the subterfuge and assassinations failed. The Brotherhood was wounded, but very much alive. Alive and hungry for vengeance.

Then the call came. Muz Ashen issued the order. The Brotherhood was going on the offensive. Not even the One Sith and Darth Krayt could get away with attempting an attack like this. Scholae Palatinae prepared its forces for the first phase of the attack and set its sight on Nfolgai.

Intro

== Nfolgai ==
== History ==

=== Tomb World ===

=== House of Power ===

=== Abandonment ===

=== One Sith ===

=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood ===
The Brotherhood chose this as one of the two planets with which to begin their Dark Crusade upon the planets of the old Sith Empire. Born as a form of retribution against the One Sith, the military of the Iron Throne along with the various houses and clans of the Brotherhood came to establish a beachhead outside their own systems in order to further branch out into the galaxy.

== Geography ==
Nfolgai is lined from pole to pole with endless large sweeping mountain ranges concentrated in the northern hemisphere, with no bodies of water anywhere on its surface. Due to the higher elevation and endless peaks to the north, the planet has drastically different climate and land cover on each of its hemispheres.

=== Northern Hemisphere ===
The entire northern hemisphere of Nfolgai is covered in large sweeping mountain ranges towering into the upper atmosphere. This leaves most of it arid with all moisture contained nearly year round in polar ice caps.

==== Climate ====
The temperatures are freezing almost year round at the pole covering it in ice caps. As you move south away from the northern pole of the planet, the higher elevation of the mountain ranges create a rain shadow, and when combined with the low temperatures it keeps the rest of the hemisphere covered in mountainous cold arid deserts that sustain hardly any vegetation at all.

==== Biodiversity ====
The arid biosphere of the northern hemisphere supported almost no animal or plant life. The far northern polar ice caps never reaching a temperature capable of sustaining any life, closer to the equator were hardy mosses and flowers, but no sentient or animal life.

=== Southern Hemisphere ===
The southern hemisphere of the planet was also covered in mountain ranges and polar ice, but diverged at the equator creative valleys tucking away jungles and swamps and the only opportunity for sustained life on the planet.

==== Climate ====
The lower elevation and valleys allow the temperature to reach a level capable of sustaining life. Although semi arid in the peaks, the valleys of the southern hemisphere contain jungles dense with vegetation and swamps where the only standing water on the planet collects. Towards the southern pole of the planet the temperatures drop as the mountain ranges come back together creating subarctic climates with ice caps existing only at the most southern tip.

==== Biodiversity ====
The jungles and swamps of the southern hemisphere contain their own ecosystems. Due to the mix in minerals in the mountainous terrain covering nearly the entire plane, all flora in these jungles and swamps contains an exceedingly high level and complex mix of metallic content. This result renders all radar and scanners nearly useless.

===== Plants =====
There were at least a dozen species of trees in the jungles towering high into the air between the mountain ranges, making up a dense canopy. A few of the stronger species of trees with thicker trunks and leaves emerge beyond this canopy seeking the bright sunlight.

The thick canopy of treetops blocked light, but various vines climbed their way up the tall trees reaching for sun making up the understory. Below it on the dark wet forest floor where sunlight rarely reaches are decomposing leaves from the trees above, and an unidentified number of species of ferns, fungi and mosses that have adapted to life with such little sunlight living off the decomposing matter.

In several of the deeper flatter canyons closer to the southern pole, the runoff from the mountains slows and creates two wide and massive swamp forests. Flooding seasonally, the swamps contain several of the same species of trees from the surrounding jungles that are more resilient to flooded conditions. Various unidentified herbs and small shrubs grow throughout and floating in the water.

===== Animals =====
The jungles of the planet are rife with wildlife. Consisting of mammals, including primates in the upper canopy along with countless birds, and felids lurking the jungle floors. In addition to these are various snakes and lizards. Even more numerous than the mammals and reptiles making up over 90% of the diversity within are insects: butterflies, spiders, ants, beetles, wasps and flies.

The swamps contain species capable of adapting to the fluctuation in the water levels. Snakes and various species of frogs and salamanders making up the majority. Several species of larger wading birds live in these areas as well, with a large variety of invertebrates under the surface of the water as well as the larval stages of many of the thousands of insects.

=== The Force ===
The influence of the Dark Side on the planet is hard to determine. During its time as a tomb world countless Sith Mausoleums were erected for Sith Lords by the slave populations. The energies emitted from these vary but the impact is real on the populations of the planet.

Every living organism on the planet has been diseased with the Dark Side of the Force. This has resulted in a maddening in some more intelligent species, while adding sophistication to swarming in the case of wasps in the jungles. At all levels of the food chain it has made the entire world slightly more treacherous, but all still hanging slightly in balance no doubt by the will of the Force.

== Points of Interest ==
== Demographics ==
=== Species ===
==== Native Species ====
No native intelligent species. The harsh environment of the planet has allowed for some basic life forms in the dense and dangerous jungles of the southern hemisphere. There were however several important species to the planet during the Ancient Sith Empire.

==== Imported Species ====
===== Humans =====
[[starwars:Humans|Human]] were one of three slave races brought to Nfolgai during the Ancient Sith Empire to erect the many Sith Mausoleums that dot its surface. Found throughout the galaxy humans were easily replaceable slave labor for the Sith Empire.

In the years following the fall of the Sith Empire on the planet all of the enslaved humans quickly died out. Unable to cope with the harsh environment and without the support of the Sith Empire for supplies, they stood little chance of long term survival.

===== Mrlssi =====
[[File:Mrlssi-Scholae.jpeg|thumb|200px|right|Two Mrlssi]]
[[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] are a feathered bird like species found from the planet [[starwars:Mrlsst|Mrlsst]]. While as a young species their planet of Mrlsst was geologically unstable. Any buildings and possessions were destroyed with regularity. However, the Mrlssi discovered that knowledge would endure. They are famous for their high intelligence and ability to quickly reverse engineer technology.

Following the fall of the Ancient Sith Empire, the Mrlssi continue to survive on Nfoglai to this day. However they have very little in terms of commonality with their modern Mrlssi counterparts. The Mrlssi of Nfolgai have become creatures of basic emotion and instinct living in primitive tribal packs. While the species genius surely helped the original slaves survive on the planet, that ingenuity cannot be found in their descendants today. While more primitive, the One Sith discovered upon arrival that the Mrlssi had an unnatural connection to the Dark Side of the force.

===== Draethos =====
[[File:Draethos-Scholae.jpeg|thumb|200px|left|A Draethos]]
The [[starwars:Draethos|Draethos]] are an incredibly long life span humanoid species from [[starwars:Thosa|Thosa]]. Noted for their comical appearance of an drastic overbite, The Draethos also possessed the ability of telepathy.

As with the Mrlssi on Nfolgai, the Draethos can still be found on the planet today. Life on the planet has driven them to be primitive and basic tribal members. As well, upon the arrival of the One Sith it was discovered the Draethos had an unnatural connection with the Dark Side. This connection, along with the one found in the Mrlssi led the One Sith to discover the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn. Although primitive, the Draethos are savage warriors utilizing crude weapons and even basic force powers developed from the long years of life on the planet. In particular the Draethos make claiming the mausoleum of Sorzus Syn incredibly difficult for One Sith and Brotherhood members alike.

=== Languages ===
At the time of the Sith Empire the pure tongue language of Sith was used by the Sith overlords on the planet. Basic, Draethos, and Mrlsstese are assumed to have been used as well to communicate with the Humans, Draethos and Mrlssi slaves on the planet.

Presently the Mrlssi tribes continue to use a more devolved form of their native language. The Draethos continue to use the clicky native language of Draethos in addition to their telepathic abilities.

=== Population ===
It is currently unknown what the total population of surviving Mrlssi and Draethos are on Nfolgai. Both species of former slaves live in racial tribes in pockets throughout the southern hemisphere. A warren of Mrlssi has been found in the wreckage of the Render in the north, it is unknown if any of the other crashed ships house other small communities.

=== Urbanization ===
While at the time of the Ancient Sith Empire there were safe havens and structures to house the slaves working on the mausoleums, these have all been eroded away with time. Currently there is no real form of Urbanization. Both the Mrlssi and Draethos live in racially defined tribes throughout the southern hemisphere. All the tribes reside within the Southern Hemisphere, relying on the dense and harsh jungles for sustenance.

In the northern hemisphere a warren of Mrlssi have been found to be surviving within the crashed remains of the Interdictor-Class Destroyer Render. After over 3,000 years of subjection to the harsh frozen elements in the northern hemisphere, the Render is one of the only places of safe haven for the crazed Mrlssi who call it home.

=== Education ===
While renowned for their intelligence throughout the galaxy, the Mrlssi of Nfolgai have lost much of their ability for learning. Both Mrlssi and Draethos have demonstrated remarkable abilities at adapting to the planet, it does not appear there is any form of actual education in either of the races tribes. Both rely on a hands-on approach with younglings to learn to survive on the planet. This envelopes the most basic tribal needs such as hunting, shelter building and communication between tribal members.

== Economy ==
Currently: None
At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire Nfolgai was a planet reserved for mausoleums for Sith Lords. Slaves were imported to work on the tombs and eventually left to fend for themselves when the Empire fell.

=== Major Imports ===
Currently: None
At the time of the Ancient Sith Empire: Slaves, foodstuffs, tools for building

=== Major Exports ===
None. Sith Knowledge is found upon holocrons littered throughout the Mausoleums on the surface which is what attracted both the One Sith and the Dark Brotherhood to the planet.

== Space Presence ==
None from species on the planet.
1 Space Station housing a small settlement of spacers in low orbit, most likely pirates hiding here due to the lack civilization on the surface. Station is also protected with two squadrons of aged [[starwars:Ugly|Ugly]] fighters. Cobbled together from various fighters, these two squadrons as well as the station itself pose little threat to Brotherhood Forces. Main threats to the Brotherhood in space are any One Sith ships that can be brought in system to defend the planet.

Kell Palpatine Dante is a soldier and Dark Jedi in House [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He is the first son born of [[Angelo Dante]], the former [[Proconsul]] of Clan Scholae Palatinae, and his former girlfriend on Corellia. His twin brother, [[Kyle Dante]], is also a member of the Imperial Scholae Guard and lives on [[Judecca]]. Currently, Kell is the Field Marshal and commander of the Imperial Scholae Guard.

=History=
==Early life==

Born to an ex-girlfriend of [[Angelo Dante]], Kell and his twin brother, Kyle, grew up on Corellia at the end of the Empire and the beginning of the New Republic. The twins knew nothing about their father as their mother, Maria Belasar, had just assumed that Dante had been killed during the many battles at the downfall of the Empire. As such, she just told her sons that their father had died during the war. Maria's side of the family had ended up supporting the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic, and their mother worked her way up in the administrative bureaucracy of the Corellian government without paying much attention to her twins. Kyle and Kell spent most of their time growing up in a variety of military boarding schools where both excelled in their academic and martial studies. This is where the twins went their separate ways. While Kyle applied to the Corellian Security Forces Academy at age 16, Kell left Corellia to see the galaxy and to see if his father was still alive. His travels took him into the Imperial Remnant where he found his father alive and well in the service of the [[Emperor's Hammer]].

==Arrival in the Emperor's Hammer==

==Hammer's Fist==

==Shadowstalkers==

==Arrival in Cocytus==
Along with his father, Kell and the rest of the Shadowstalkers became a part of Clan Scholae Palatinae just before the Vong Invasion. The Dante family joined in protecting their new home on Judecca, and the Vong were successfully defeated in the Cocytus system following a prolonged campaign. It was at this time that his father and Archangel were given the task to help create a fighting force based on the vaunted Hammer's Fist Legion. A massive reorganization of the clan forces took place and resulted in the newly created Imperial Scholae Guard.

Kell Palpatine Dante is a soldier and Dark Jedi in House [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He is first son born to [[Angelo Dante]], the former [[Proconsul]] of Clan Scholae Palatinae, and his girlfriend on Corellia. His twin brother, [[Kyle Dante]], is also a member of the Imperial Scholae Guard and lives on [[Judecca]]. Currently, Kell is a member of the Fist's staff, the Sergeant of the [[Nightstalkers]], and the Field Marshal commanding the Imperial Scholae Guard.

=History=
==Early life==

Born to an ex-girlfriend of [[Angelo Dante]], Kell and his twin brother, Kyle, grew up on Corellia at the end of the Empire and the beginning of the New Republic. The twins knew nothing about their father as their mother, Maria Belasar, had just assumed that Dante had been killed during the many battles at the downfall of the Empire. As such, she just told her sons that their father had died during the war. Maria's side of the family had ended up supporting the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic, and their mother worked her way up in the administrative bureaucracy of the Corellian government without paying much attention to her twins. Kyle and Kell spent most of their time growing up in a variety of military boarding schools where both excelled in their academic and martial studies. This is where the twins went their separate ways. While Kyle applied to the Corellian Security Forces Academy at age 16, Kell left Corellia to see the galaxy and to see if his father was still alive. His travels took him into the Imperial Remnant where he found his father alive and well in the service of the [[Emperor's Hammer]].

==Arrival in the Emperor's Hammer==

==Hammer's Fist==

==Shadowstalkers==

==Arrival in Cocytus==
Along with his father, Kell and the rest of the Shadowstalkers became a part of Clan Scholae Palatinae just before the Vong Invasion. The Dante family joined in protecting their new home on Judecca, and the Vong were successfully defeated in the Cocytus system following a prolonged campaign. It was at this time that his father and Archangel were given the task to help create a fighting force based on the vaunted Hammer's Fist Legion. A massive reorganization of the clan forces took place and resulted in the newly created Imperial Scholae Guard.

<i> When Journeymen in various houses and clans where reported to have gained enhanced ability's for a short time and over aggressive and murderous tendencies, the Dark Council decided to investigate the oddity. They found that the first reported "infection" was found in Plagueis, and the most probable location for the initial infection came from the [[Shadow Academy]].

The "Infection" was referred to as a Plague due to the unknown source of which it came. Until the council knows more, no one will know for sure just what is going on, and each clan or house is on their own in dealing with the infected.</i>

==Plague Effecting House Scholae Palatinae==

[[image:Judecca.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Judecca where Ohmen is located.]]

When House [[Scholae Palatinae]] became aware of the Plague now known as [[Horizons]], chaos and rioting had already broken out in Ohmen, [[Judecca]]. At first it seemed that the plague hadn't done much damage outside of the initial run in with the Arconan Dark Jedi Knight. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. The first week of the Plague wrought havoc on all [[Journeymen]]. [[Akatsuki]] Tamalar, the [[Rollmaster]] of House [[Scholae Palatinae]] began to notice that within the lower ranks, and newer recruits that something was amiss. The newcomers were stronger, faster, smarter and more efficient in the Force than had been seen in the history of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. [[Akatsuki]] and [[Xan Phraz-Etar]] were charged with watching the incoming members from [[Lyspair]] while [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] focused on solutions. As the journeymen became more violent, the Imperial Scholae Guard, under the command of [[Kell Dante|Kell Palpatine Dante]], was called in to halt their rampaged on Judecca.

A week had passed, a long and bloody week. The [[Horizons]] Plague had spread to the Equites of Rank 2, and continued to strip The Force from those affected. Anger and resentment filled the ranks of the [[Dark Brotherhood]] as multitudes more were affected by this Plague, and it seemed those who were not affected were the targets of many. Battles and skirmishes broke out in multiple systems, causing more death and destruction among brothers. Many searched for a cure to this dread [[Horizons]] Plague, but none was to be found as of yet. It seemed that an unknown force was moving in upon the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. A force of warships, starships, soldiers, and innumerable resources. Every system within [[Dark Brotherhood]] space was under siege, and we were being slowly pushed back. The events on [[Judecca]] worsened over the past week as the [[Scholae Palatinae]] [[Journeyman]] and Equites rebelled against those still Force conscious. One of the most devastating events happened recently in Ohmen City as a Hospital was destroyed by a terrorist attack, killing many in the initial blast and effectively entombing those unlucky enough to be trapped inside. Terrorism had spread like wildfire throughout the city as tensions became palpable in the cities of [[Judecca]]. [[Akatsuki]] Tamalar and [[Xan Phraz-Etar]] had recently been affected by the [[Horizons]] Plague, and were doing their best to cope with the loss of the Force. The main priority remained getting [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] to safety, but they surely felt the rage and resentment rising inside them. The Emperor is currently ruling from the headquarters of the Imperial Scholae Guard on Judecca where he is heavily defended by non-Force using troopers of the 90th Legion as well as the Praetorian Guards. As of right now, [[Scholae Palatinae]]'s forces are under siege from this unknown enemy, as well as the in-fighting amongst those who were affected and not. Chaos ensued in the [[Dark Brotherhood]] ranks, and there seemed to be no end to the madness of [[Horizons]]. A cure was wistfully wished for, but none was forthcoming as the plague continued to wreak havoc on Judecca.

With the elders of Palatinae nowhere to be found, there were no members of the Royal Clan left unaffected by the plague. The former clan was beginning to disintegrate from the inside out as even the remaining Palpatines were hit hard by the affliction.

==Plague Effecting House Plagueis==

The first reported incident came from Plagueis. It was good to have the Assistant to the Grand Master as the Aedile. Kal kept the house pretty informed but still unsure of the origins of this mysterious plague.

The Plague started out only affecting the weak journey men, But they did not stay weak. The Plague enhanced their strength and some of their force ability's. Some Journeymen were a little more resistant at first and they were assigned Equites to watch over them.

With the whole Dark Tower on lock-down, Primus Pilus acted as security in hopes to prevent anymore of the Horizons plague to spread. Unbeknownst to them, it was too late. The whole Brotherhood was in danger when the Equites started to get infected.

After several weeks of careful planning and tight security, Plagueis had faild to protect its Dark Tower as well as its home world as a whole. Kaspina fell and became uninhabitable and all surviving members had to flee to space.

==Personal Observations of the Infected Journeymen of the Brotherhood==

====Kuro's Observation====
<i>Journey Entry</i>

"Everyone is acting strange, I dont really mind it, makes me feel more at home that way"
"I had to fight off a Guardian today, it was fun"
"This little Acolyte tried to pick a fight with me, I humored him and spared alittle but something was off. This little man was stronger then a normal Acolyte, I mean he was, Strong!"
"Riots have broken out and Tr'an have called for Primus to act as Security. Im loosing members of the Blade to some sickness, a plague the Council are calling "Horizons". sofar it only seems to be effecting Journeymen"
"My head. The smell of blood is making me hungry. Kill everyone"

Kuro was not one for writing but as the plague went on and Kogarasu started to notice the changes going on around him, he wanted to record some thoughts, in case something happened to him and someone found his journal. As the Horizons plague went on, and more and more people got infected, more of the Elders and Equites started to fall victim to Horizons. When Kuro became infected, He liked the feeling. More strength to use to his will and inflect as much pain as he could, He was living it up.

Tabytha Larkssonn is a determined and relentless assassin who has worked for a variety of intelligence agencies and mercenary groups over the past decade. Her involvement with Kell Dante on a mission a few years ago left her betrayed and with an intense hatred of the current member of Scholae Palatinae as well as the Imperial Remnant.

== Character History ==
===Early Life===
Born on Coruscant to a family of career politicians, Tabytha was raised in an affluent environment with a boarding school education. Destined for a life of luxury and power, she decided to go a different route than the one planned by her family. After graduation from the University of Coruscant with degrees in linguistics and psychology, she was recruited into the intelligence apparatus of the New Republic as a covert operative wthin the social hierarchy of Coruscant high society.

=== Operation Shadows ===
On one of these missions, Larkssonn was to infiltrate the political party who had hired a mercenary group, the Shadowstalkers, to work in the Outer Rim. During the course of the operation, she became intimately involved with Kell Dante. It began as a seduction in order to complete her mission, but it became something else. When the time came for her to bring down the group, she called in the New Republic strike team, but the mercs were already gone. At the same time that she had been playing the Shadowstalkers, the Force sensitive Dante’s had been running their own scheme against New Republic Intelligence. Barely escaping with her life, she swore vengeance on the former Imperials.

=== Current Status ===
After the transition of the New Republic into the Galactic Alliance, Tabytha became a major player in the Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service’s counter-insurgency unit, but she never was able to overcome her hatred of Kell Dante and the rest of his family and unit.

A former officer of the Emperor's Hammer, '''Dante''' served as both [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]] and Prefect of the Hammer's Fist Legion. Having left the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and become a mercenary in the Outer Rim for a few years, Dante and his family have settled in the [[Cocytus System]] where he has affiliated with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. A tenacious warrior on the ground, Dante was very active in the defense and [[Reclamation of Judecca|reclamation of Judecca]] from the Vong. Although well trained in the arts of the Dark Side, Dante is a soldier first, an Imperial second, and a practitioner of the Force last.

== Character History ==
=== Growing up on Corellia ===
Born to an Imperial officer who was a veteran of the Clone Wars and a teacher, Dante grew up in a fairly stable home situation as his father was normally on the planet while his mother worked at a local school. He was a normal kid who enjoyed sports, games, and eventually girls as he got a bit older. His grades were excellent at school, and his one goal was to become an Imperial officer like his father. The day that his acceptance letter to the Imperial Academy was one of the happiest days of his life.

=== Imperial Academy ===
During his first year at the Academy everything was going extremely well until both of us parents died: his father in a shuttle crash and his mother from a rare disease that she contracted on a field trip with her class. After these tragedies, Dante threw himself into his studies. He steadily progressed through his courses, and he was ranked near the top of his class going into his final year. He graduated with honors and was commissioned a 2LT in the Stormtrooper Corps.

=== Service to the Galaxy ===
Dante considered the Imperial form of government the only way to control the galaxy and maintain order, and he followed this ideal throughout his time as a commander. He commanded a number of platoons before being put through Storm Commando training in 7 ABY. The now Captain Dante fought in numerous engagements against he forces of the freshly created New Republic, and he was rewarded with a promotion to the rank of Major in 10 ABY. With the rebirth of the Emperor, Dante felt as if the times were changing for the better as soon the chaos of the New Republic would be replaced again with the order of the Empire.

=== Leaving the Empire ===
That is when the Empire decided to come apart with the final death of the Emperor and the destruction of the last of the great superweapons of the Empire. Even though the New Republic forces hadn't managed to defeat all of the Imperial forces throughout the galaxy, Dante had decided that this version of the Empire wasn't going to last. He packed up his gear, resigned from the Army, and headed off to Corellia to find work as a bodyguard or a mercenary. As a former stormtrooper, work wasn't that hard to find, but it wasn't as easy or glamorous as he thought it would be.

=== Life as a Mercenary ===
After the training that he had received at the Academy, the technical aspect of being a corporate bodyguard wasn't hard, but the complete decadence that Dante experienced took some getting used to as he watched over the various executives to which he was assigned. During the years between his leaving the Empire and joining the forces of the Emperor's Hammer, Dante protected a number of these bigwhigs against assassination attempts, kidnappings, and bombings. After one such mission, a uniformed figure came up to him and introduced himself as a recruiter for a special operations unit that was with the Emperor's Hammer, a small part of the Imperial Remnant. The pay seemed good, and Dante had felt the longing for the camaraderie of a small unit. With that, he was on his way towards a new life in the Hammer's Fist Legion on Carrida II.

=== Imperial Remnant ===
After completing his basic combat training on Carrida II, Dante was first assigned to patrol duty on Carrida II for Operation Crimewatch. His duties were fairly mundane for awhile, but once the Legion go their marching orders he was on the first shuttle to Flint, a jungle planet on the edges of Emperor's Hammer space. The EH's regular units had been bogged down by heavy rains for almost a month before the Legion arrived with Dante and the rest of his fellow newbies in tow, and the troopers would stay for another month afterwards. On his first mission, the young trooper was paired with Lance Corporal Tacky on a recon sweep that soon went sour. Luckily, the intrepid pair were rescued by their comrades in Vengeance 2, and the New Republic forces were finally defeated on the nasty planet of Trent. This was the first of many in a series of battles that Dante would fight in for the Legion, and he steadily worked his way up the chain of command.

=== Clan Satal Keto and the 5th Great Jedi War: Before the Great Schism ===
Dante began his Dark Brotherhood career in House Aleema of Clan Satal Keto under the tutelage of Dark Jedi Knight Delak Krennel who was first his platoon commander and then company commander in the Hammer's Fist. Although he focused primarily on his duties as a stormtrooper, Dante was able to rise to the rank of Protector before the events of the Great Schism occurred. His exploits in the 4th Great Jedi War earned the young Dark Jedi a Dark Cross for his tenaciousness in battle. This would be the last time that he would be with his beloved clanmates as many soon departed the Emperor's Hammer for parts unknown, and Dante did not rejoin what was left of his clan as he put himself more into his ground pounder duties as a Company Commander in the Hammer's Fist.

=== Life Goes On ===
After the Exodus, Dante stayed in the Rogues as he was preoccupied with his ascension to glory in the Hammer's Fist. Battle after battle was fought between the Fist and the New Republic. Luckily, he managed to avoid any serious injury during these fights. He served in a number of positions from Company Commander to Commander of Training to the position of Commander of Operations for the Fist. Clan Satal Keto began to decline during this time, and he was invited by Hawk of Storms (TK-7764) to join Clan Arcona's House Qel-Droma. He took his friend up on this offer, and he began working on his path to becoming a Dark Jedi at a very slow pace. With the pace of combat operations being stepped up because of new action against what was termed the "Rogue Dark Brotherhood," Dante was unable to do much training in the Force. That was soon to change.
[[File:GoA-AngeloDante.jpg|thumb|224px|left|Dante's EHDB Grant of Arms]]

=== Rise to Power ===
With the retirement of Ares, a void was felt in the power structure of the Hammer's Fist. Mordred was named the new Prefect, and Dante became the new Executive Officer of the Regiment. After a short time, Mordred retired, and Angelo was named the Prefect of the Legion. This was a great period of expansion and revival for the Fist. New weapons systems, uniforms, and training courses were introduced. It was also during this time that the Nightstalkers were created. This small unit operated under the command of Decarat (or [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae|Archangel]]) for a number of months before command was passed on. This unit still lives on as the Shadowstalkers, Dante's personal force of bodyguards. After a short tour as Prefect, Dante was transferred to the Advisory staff so that he could grow in the powers of the Dark Jedi. In Arcona, he also grew in power as he became a Dark Jedi Knight and served as Aedile of Galeres and Quaestor of House Oriens Obscurum before he was finally named Consul of the Shadow Clan. While Consul, he was also reassigned as the Prefect of the Fist for a second tour. This was a Golden age for Arcona as they destroyed both Clan Scholae Palatinae as well as Clan Alvaak, but the Hammer's Fist was being weakened through a series of engagements with enemy forces as well as a number of officer and senior enlisted expulsions by the Fleet Commander. These "mandatory retirements" by the Fleet Commander led to increased tension between the EH command staff and Dante. Soon, this "tension" would lead to Dante's leaving of the Emperor's Hammer for forever.
[[File:Dante_hf_dressuni.jpg|thumb|285px|right|Dante's Hammer's Fist Uniform]]

=== End of an Era ===
First came his second retirement as Prefect of the Hammer's Fist. Then came his retirement as Consul of Clan Arcona. As his obligations to the Emperor's Hammer decreased, his plans for what would come next in his life began coming together. Dante had amassed quite a fortune during his time in the Emperor's Hammer through shrewd investment in some property on Hoth of all things that he had bought in 100 acre portions in his early days as a trooper. With those earnings and those from some other investments, he and his wife were able to begin putting together what would become the foundation for their mercenary group. The plan was to head into the Unknown regions, find a planet that suited them, and then set up shop to be hired out. Just before the Dante's could enact their plan, their ally and the current Grand Master, Blade, was attacked by the Deputy Grand Master La'an. This led to Dante becoming reunited with many of his troopers in the Fist as he commanded the Hammer's Fist flotilla that was launched against the traitor, La'an. After the conclusion of this action, Dante returned to Carrida II, home of his beloved Legion, to find it completely destroyed. The investigation that followed led to another campaign against the attackers who turned out to be behind the plot to assassinate Blade as well. Finally rid of his obligations in the Emperor's Hammer, the Dante's left EH space with a number of ships and about a battalion of troopers for the unknown. As they were nearing the edge of EH territory he received a message from the Fleet Commander: You are hereby expelled from the Emperor's Hammer for bad mouthing me in public... With that, the flotilla jumped into hyperspace and into the Unknown Regions...

=== Journey into the Unknown ===
The Nightstalkers served as a mercenary group for many years throughout the Unknown Regions and the worlds of the Outer Rim. Most of their clients were planetary governments who didn't or couldn't have a standing army of their own with which to defend themselves. Through shrewd business sense and a good bit of luck, the Dante's and the Shadowstalkers managed to make a nice profit. They settled on a secluded world and set up shop there as they no longer had to look for customers.... they came looking for the group.
[[File:Dante.gif|thumb|207px|left|Ceremonial Nightstalker Armor]]

=== Return to the Brotherhood ===
After a mission near the Core Worlds, Dante received a message from his old friend Brent "Archangel" Tainer who was living on [[Judecca]] with [[Scholae Palatinae|Clan Scholae Palatinae]] of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Arch had put out an open invitation years before when he had decided to leave the Emperor's Hammer, but Dante and his troopers had decided to become mercenaries in the Unknown Regions instead. After a number of years of fighting, the Shadowstalkers had decided that it was time for some R&R so the unit moved onwards to Judecca and placed themselves under the command of Clan Scholae Palatinae. As Archangel had recruited him, he joined House Caliburnus, and his family went to their new home on Judecca. Just a few short days later, their new lives would be turned upside down as the klaxons around the Cocytus System began going off. The blaring sirens warned of the coming of the dreaded Vong, and the Dante's, the Shadowstalkers, and the rest of the Dark Brotherhood would soon have their hands full.

=== 8th Great Jedi War ===
As Dante had just joined the clan, he wasn't in space with the rest of his new clansmen when the Vong began their invasion. Soon after the attack began, Dante and the infantry company he was commanding were sent to meet up with the remnants of the fleet. They managed to land on the CSP flagship, but the unit was almost immediately sent back to Judecca to help head off the invasion there. Dante's unit fought for the rest of the conflict on Judecca against the Incursion. Although they weren't able to defeat the invaders, they were able to contain them to certain areas of the planet. For his heroics in battle, Dante was elevated to Dark Jedi Knight at the conclusion of the conflict.

=== Reclamation of Judecca ===
Now that the Vong were contained, the next step for the members of Clan Scholae Palatinae was to drive out the invaders from the Cocytus System. Having just taken over command of the Nightmare Brigade, Dante led them to victory in a number of skirmishes throughout the system. After the end of the Reclamation, Dante resigned from his position and spent some time at home with his family in order to recuperate from the constant warfare that had been going on since his return to the Brotherhood. This break was short lived as he soon took on a position within the Chamber of Justice as the Left Hand of Justice. He was soon transferred from House Caliburnus to House Dorimad Sol, the traditional Obelisk House of the clan.

=== Feud with Caliburnus ===
[[File:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae]]After becoming more at home in his new position of Left Hand of Justice, Dante became more involved in his new House. During this time, he was assigned his friend, Camord, as his new apprentice. This reunion was short lived as a blood feud was declared between his current and former houses. Over a 3 week period, House Dorimad Sol dominated House Caliburnus, and they brought the larger house to its knees. Dante was given a number of honors for his bravery and expertise in battle including the title of "Gladiator of Scholae Palatinae, Dark Paladin of Scholae Palatinae, and a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Templar.

=== Independence Games of 29 ABY ===
The Independence Games are held in memory of the Exodus or the Great Split as it is known in the Emperor's Hammer. These games of skill pit the members of the various clans against one another for a month of combat and other challenges. Clan Scholae Palatinae dominated the competition with Dante winning the combat portion and being named the overall champion while Ylith of House Caliburnus, doing well in all of the events, came in a close second. It was a proud time for the members of Scholae Palatinae as they hoped to build on their placing in the games and rise above their place of 2nd Clan of the Brotherhood.

=== Uneasy Alliances & Clan Elevations ===
Dante was serving as the [[Left Hand of Justice]] in the Justicar's Office as well as Rollmaster of House Dorimad Sol, when he received the request to become [[Thran Occasus|Thran's]] Aedile when [[Prajna]] was forced to resign due to personal issues. As he was coming to the end of his term as LHOJ, Dante accepted the new position. Just as he was getting used to his new position, a call for help came from Clan Plagueis and Braecen as they were being overrun by the Vong. An expedition was mounted, and the Legions of Scholae Palatinae performed quite well in their first major combat engagement as they easily defeated the Vong as well as the Arconans who attempted to ambush both Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae. After the great victory, Phoenix eventually stepped down as Consul of the clan with Lucien taking over that position. This left Thran to move up into the Proconsul position, and Dante was elevated to the position of Quaestor of House Dorimad Sol.

=== Ninth Great Jedi War ===
The retaking of Antei had more twists and surprises than an amusement park ride. First, the Vong space forces around Antei were all dead or dying from a mysterious illness. Once they made it to Antei, there ended up being a droid army led by a cult of renegade Jedi. The clans were then informed that only the Dark Jedi and troops loyal to the Iron Throne would land on the planet as all clan forces had to stay in orbit. Dante ended up with a special forces unit that carried out strikes behind enemy lines for most of the war. The clans were ranked in order of the contributions that they made to the war effort, and Scholae Palatinae were in a three way battle with Arcona and Taldryan for the title of First Clan of the Brotherhood. The clan was narrowly defeated by their two rivals, but the retaking of Antei was a glorious expedition for the members of the Scholae Palatinae. Dante was named Third Hero of the war, and there were many other great honors spread around to other clan members. The hope was that the momentum from this warfare would lead to even greater honors in the upcoming Rite of Supremacy.

=== Spoils of War ===
Having left the Proconsul following the intense fighting within the Coctyus system during the uprising by the Cause, Dante concentrated his efforts on building up the armed forces and preparing them for the combat that would soon erupt on Salas V. The Dark Jedi of the clan had become apathetic since their near victory during the Great Jedi War as well as from the losses suffered during the insurgency of the Cause. This was soon apparent as the clan finished the Rite of Supremacy at the bottom of the listing of clans barely defeating Plagueis in head to head combat. Even with the veterans such as RevengeX, Dante, and Solus Gar working with the newcomers of the clan such as Kael Fayne, the clan suffered defeat against both Taldyran and Tarentum as many of the clan's Dark Jedi were killed or went missing during the battle for Salas V.

=== Clan Transformation ===
Following the clan's defeat, many of the surviving members of Scholae Palatinae left as the Emperor became more and more vacant in his duties. Dante was asked to come back as the Aedile in House Dorimad Sol to try and return the House to its greatness. Due to a dispute between Robin Hawk and the Grand Master, the Dark Paladin was once again named as the Quaestor of Dorimad Sol. He would serve in this capacity until Scholae Palatinae, along with the other clans, were forced to become independent Houses due to the losses that were sustained by the entire Brotherhood following Salas V.
[[File:HDS_flag.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Flag of House Dorimad Sol]]

=== Death and Legacy ===
When sent on a mission to find out information on Michael Halcyon, Dante was killed in action through the incompetent actions of the First, Fremoc Pepoi. Honored as a hero, Dante was given a state funeral in the Cocytus System. Upon his death, Dante's son, [[Kell Dante]] took over his positions including his place amongst the Palpatines.

== Character Info ==
=== Description ===
Dante is normally seen around the Brotherhood wearing black fatigues, a flight suit, or various types of full body armor. His blondish-brown hair is starting to show the signs of a silvery gray on his temples, and it is still cut in a military style crew cut as it has been for the past 30+ years.

=== Demeanor and Philosophy ===
Although he has long trained in the ways of the Dark Side, Dante still considers himself a soldier first, and a Dark Jedi second. He firmly believes in the code of Obelisk as this merges well with the sense of honor that he prides himself on as a professional soldier. Many outsiders find Dante's philosophy to be an odd choice, but almost everyone who has served under his command still would do almost anything for him. His faith in the Imperial system is also very strong, and the former stormtrooper will always feel that the Empire will rise again and take its rightful place in the galaxy.

Created initially during the time of [[Grand Master]] [[Kreeayt Havok]] to hold the secrets of the Brotherhood, the HOLOCRON was added onto as the Brotherhood underwent tremendous growth over the next decade. At the time of the [[Exodus]], the holocron was a hepta-hedral with the original portion of the holocron signifying the [[Dark Council]] as the centerpiece. During the Exodus, the holocron was broken up into pieces in order to smuggle it out from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], but the ships carrying it away from [[Eos]] were ambushed by units of the [[Avenger Task Force]] who remained loyal to Grand Admiral Ronin. All of the pieces were recovered eventually by the members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] except for one, but it has recently been located on [[New Tython]].

==History==

With the ascension of Havok to the position of [[Grand Master]], there was finally a Grand Master to have first been a member of the Emperor’s Hammer before joining the Brotherhood. These Imperial tendencies led him to realize how quickly things could change in the leadership of an organization so he constructed the Umbra Holocron to hold the knowledge of the Dark Council.

As each succeeding Grand Master took over, their knowledge was placed into the holocron as a means of keeping the secrets of the Brotherhood in a safe place. As clans were developed and created, each clan’s consul began putting the training and knowledge of their clans into the holocron as well. A detachable recording piece was built for each clan, and the consul simply had to take their part and imbue it with the secrets that he so wished. Upon its return, the piece would slide into the main holocron resulting in the transfer of the knowledge into the database. This continued for many years until the infamous [[Deputy Grand Master]] Astatine became involved in the internal politics of the Brotherhood.

Grand Master [[Firefox]] ordered the holocron split up in order to deprive the Emperor’s Hammer the knowledge of the Dark Side, and a ship from each clan was tasked with taking the pieces to their new homes. Just as the ships were departing the moon, a flotilla of vessels from the [[Avenger Task Force]] appeared to help the Brotherhood members who chose to stay behind. A battle ensued between the opposing factions, and the enemy group attempted to flee via hyperspace. It was a foolhardy move as the damaged vessels caused their linked jump computers to fail, and the pieces were scattered across the galaxy.

Special units were sent out by both the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the [[Emperor's Hammer]] in an attempt to find all of the pieces of the holocron. Many were killed on both sides as they attempted to locate all of the pieces. With the weakening of power of the Emperor’s Hammer, the Dark Brotherhood was able to press their advantage and eventually locate all of the pieces except one. That final piece is located in the Jedi temple on [[New Tython]].

==Keeper==
[[image:Picture-history_havok.jpg‎|thumb|left|175px|GM Kreeayt Havok]]
Upon its completion, it was decided that the holocron should contain all of the teachings that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had to offer. The one tasked with the collection of this knowledge was the current Grand Master, [[Kreeayt Havok]] – the third Grand Master of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Once given the task of gathering the Brotherhood’s knowledge, Havok set out immediately.

Having served in the past as both the Master at Arms and the Head Master at the Shadow Academy, Havok had already accumulated a vast amount of knowledge. Upon his elevation to the position of Grand Master, this knowledge only grew even more impressive. Havok traveled to the power base of each unit under his dominion and whatever information he found, he would store within the holocron, adding to the information of his own that had already been stored.

After Havok’s reign ended, there have been many theories sprouting up regarding his reasons for the construction of this holocron. One theory that seems to loom over all others mentions his apprentice, who would take up the Iron Throne once Kreeayt stepped down. The theory suggests that perhaps Havok could sense the trouble that was to come in the form of his apprentice and, having known this, decided to safeguard the teachings of the Brotherhood, should some terrible threat arise in the future.

== Contributors ==

=== Jac Cotelin ===
[[image:Jac.jpg|thumb|left|175px|GM Jac Cotelin]]
During his first stint as [[Grandmaster]], [[Jac Cotelin]] was one of the youngest people to ever reach the highest ranks within the Brotherhood. This fact led him to become universally feared and respected by the Brotherhood. His intense studies led to issues with Dark Council. However due to his studies he was able to store much of his findings withing the holocron.

It was often remarked about Jac Cotelin’s facial expressions. He was able to display his emotions to the most extreme degrees. The dark side is also often seen to have a wider usage of emotion than the light side. Jac poured his understandings of emotions during his first stint as Grandmaster in to the holocron.

=== Justinian Khyron ===
[[image:Picture-history khyron.jpg|thumb|right|175px|GM Justinian Khyron]]
[[Khyron]] was Cotelin’s successor. His leadership of the Brotherhood was punctuated by a serious uprising, leading to him being temporarily removed from his position. It was under Khyron that the Grandmaster’s Royal Guard was first formed. Khyron began to set up safeguards to prevent the Clans from rising up to overthrow the Iron Throne again.

Khyron’s experience with uprisings and resistance from the Clans of the Brotherhood left him furiously planning to prevent it from ever occurring again. All of his studies, thoughts and final plans should it ever occur again were stored within the holocron for safekeeping.

=== Thedek ===

[[Thedek]] was the ninth serving Grandmaster of the Brotherhood and a extremely influential [[Master at Arms]]. His rule saw modifications to several aspects of the Brotherhood including the Envoy system and the Royal Guard that was established during Khyron’s rule. Importantly it was under Thedek that the Chamber of Justice was created, establishing a system of law within the Brotherhood.

Thedek saw the need for a balance to the way the Brotherhood functioned. He understood there were basic rights, privileges and rules that Brotherhood members needed to follow in order for the Brotherhood to survive. The all out chaos of past large groups of dark side users had always failed because of the lack of rights and rules. Thedek stored the basic operations of the Chamber of Justice within the holocron so that future generations may learn from it and implement it should anything happen to the Brotherhood.

=== Faethor ===
[[image:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|175px|GM Faethor]]
Grandmaster [[Faethor]] served as the eleventh Grandmaster and was the last to have his full time spent pre-Exodus. He is also notable for having two stints in as the Herald for the Brotherhood. His long time standing service to the Brotherhood and multiple positions held meant that he had large amounts of Dark Council level experience.

The Herald is seen as the “face” of the Brotherhood and one of the large contributors to insuring the Brotherhood’s identity is hidden from the Galaxy at large. Due to his multiple times of experience with this Faethor learned much about the art of deception and concealment. He stored his knowledge of these factors into the holocron during his time as Grandmaster to ensure the Brotherhood could continue to be hidden from prying eyes.

==Description==

The Umbra Holocron is hepta-hedral in shape, meaning it has seven edges and has height. This shape was used to signify the original Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. It was expected that each of the Clans would provide a portion of their skills to the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and this holocron would be the conveyance.

The Holocron is actually eight different sections, one for each of the Clans and one of the Dark Council. The Holocron can be separated into these sections, and requires all of them to be connected before it will function. While separated, the sections are still capable of maintaining the information held within. The [[Dark Council]] central 'hub' contains the emitter and the central processor.

The internal structure of the Holocron is similar to most others discovered throughout the galaxy. The organic crystals were discovered in a cave on [[Eos]], and were protected from the Clans by the Dark Council. [[Kreeayt Havok|Havok]] himself harvested the crystals and formed them into the holomatrix used within the holocron. He used [[Sith Alchemy]] to corrupt the crystals, causing them to shift into a dark red hue.

The outside of the holocron is for protection and for show. The Dark Council section is covered with a thin layer of gold, denoting the importance of this section. The rest of the holocron is crafted out of a smokey metal, a nod to the name, Umbra. The design on top is split between the sections, and uses the colors of the Orders as decoration. The Blue of [[Obelisk]] and the Red of the [[Sith]] and the Purple of the [[Krath]] are all crafted from thinly sliced crystals.

==Contents==

The contents of the Umbra Holocron were split into each of the sections making it up. Each section “belonged” to a Clan of the Brotherhood, insuring their knowledge could be maintained for future generations. It also holds teachings and knowledge stored by the Grandmasters of the Brotherhood during their reigns up to when the holocrons was broken apart for safety under the rule of GM [[Firefox]] during the events of the [[Exodus]].

===Scholae Palatinae===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Csp-logo2.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Scholae Palatinae]]
[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] is one of the original units of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] and one of the first that had been made into a Clan in 19 ABY. With the decree from the Dark Council in 33 ABY it returned to its original House status. Independent and Proud, today, it presides as the rules of the [[Cocytus System]] as its dominion. The [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]], although small, is an important and historic force within the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

====Training Schemes====
The [[Praetorian Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|Praetorian Regiment]] is an elite regiment of Scholae Palatinae military. The Praetorian Regiment is the only one with a structure that is entirely devoted to black ops and it is always the order called upon to do critical missions. Their secondary mission was also to defend the Clan’s headquarters on [[Judecca]] and any other important area in the Cocytus System. They were the last defense.

Their section contains the training regimen developed to improve the combat effectiveness of the elite troopers. It was the Consul's plan to provide for the future defense of the Dark Brotherhood by improving the overall effectiveness of their fighting troops. The future Dark Jedi could probably also do with some improvement.

====Clan Force Powers - Animalism====

Animalism was a technique specifically with the Clan Scholae Palatinae that was formed within three tiers with twelve levels. Tier one had Feral Understanding, Bestial Empathy, Animal Aspect. These three things focused on being able to understand the animal tongue but not speak it, perceive the animal’s general emotions and take on specific characteristics of the animal. Tier two Feral Conversation, Bestial Telepathy, Animal Alteration, and Summons of Nature. These were focused on conversation both ways with the animals, superficially alteration to resemble certain aspects of the given animal, and summoning the animal. The third and final tier levels were Call Familiar, Feral Translation, Animal Magnetism, Animal Form and Spirit brother. This tier helped the members call for help from the animal, talk to other humans while in human form, emit animal pheromones, transform entirely into the animal and understanding the animal through the force.

===Arcona===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Carc-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Arcona]]
[[Clan Arcona]] is one of two remaining Dark Jedi Clans within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. It currently has two constituent Houses: [[House Qel-Droma]] and [[House Galeres|Galeres]]. A third house, [[House Oriens Obscurum]], has also been active in Arcona's past. For a brief time in 34ABY, the clan was reorganized into a house, before reforming into a clan towards the start of 35ABY.

===Training Schemes===

Acrona specialized in a group called the Light Infantry. They were a unit that were quintessential scouts with all military units, their ranks are filled from the members of the Warrior caste and differ from the Skirmishing Infantry in that they do not utilize armor and are expected to have much more mobility as a direct result.

Mobility is key in warfare, and this is the reason for this schemes inclusion into the holocron. The Arconan Consul believed that the Dark Jedi were often lethargic when in combat. Improving reflexes and speed of march could make the difference in any battle.

====Clan Force Powers – Shadowcrafting====

Shadowcrafting was Acrona’s special force power. This had four tiers and ten levels. Tier one consisted of levels one through three and were Slave Silhouette, Shadow Construct and Dark Sight. These were the basic Skills that one had control over one’s shadow, and heightened perception in darkness. Tier two were levels four through nine that were Cloak of Shadow, The Dark Forge, Oubliette, Touch of Darkness, Dark Matter, and Become the Shadow, these were considered the path to the outer darkness and helped one’s control of shadow and darkness in interacting with the physical world. Tier three was the Inner Darkness that was also levels four through nine but a different path to take within the power tier, they were Sense of Shadows, Shades of the Past, The Shaded Mind, Dark Soul, The Black Chamber and Extinquish the light, and this helped one’s control of shadow and darkness as abstracts along the mental/psychic plane. The last Tier was Shadow Master and was level ten, which was called Darkest night and helped one’s pinnacle of Shadowcrafting.

===Tarentum===

====Basic Information ====
[[image:Tar-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Tarentum]]
As with the other Houses now in existence, [[Clan Tarentum]] began as one of many Houses that dotted the socio-political landscape of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The last of the "original" Houses to form, Tarentum was formed by the members of the legendary Tau Squadron. When Tarentum became a Clan proper, it originally sired the vassal Houses of [[House Tridens|Tridens]], [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and years later spawned a third House, [[House Cestus|Cestus]]. However, all three of these Houses were closed during the reign of [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] and two new Houses were created after two heroes of Tarentum: Kaerner and [[Reinthaler]].

====Training Schemes====

The Draugr is one of the deadliest of risen corpses. Of the corporeal undead, it is the one that requires the body and corrupted soul of a Force User. How strong the Force User was in life matters little. What does matter is the strength of will of the Necromancers used to craft and raise this hellish warrior. Possessing super-Human speed, strength and agility, the Draugr is a near juggernaut on the battlefield. And they learn. While newly risen Draugr are terrors, given time and training, they can become elite warriors, serving their creator as nearly unstoppable weapons.

The Draugr are corpses, and so their creators must take care to ensure that they do not give themselves away. Normally swathed head to toe in heavy robes or the skintight bodysuits that thieves favor, usually only their eyes are visible. And these eyes tend to give them away, as they never blink – starting out red and bloodshot, and finally becoming a jaundiced yellow. Draugr do not normally speak, but will answer questions from their creator in a direct fashion. Normally this is not necessary, as their Creator can communicate telepathically with the Draugr.

Though most Dark Jedi tend to refrain for dabbling in the necromantic arts, the training is available to those who are interested to use them in combat.

====Clan Force Powers – Necromancy====

Necromancy was the dark and mysterious art practiced exclusively by [[Clan Tarentum]]. While the art involved several core Force powers under different names, the term "necromancy" was used to classify the ritualistic and ceremonial practices that the clan partook in. It also symbolized Tarentum's alliance with the strange entities known as the Keepers, who had been able to strengthen the Force powers of the Tarenti so that they may better commune with both the dead and the living.

===Taldryan===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Elementalism taldryan.png|thumb|right|100px|Taldryan]]
[[Taldryan]] is currently the First House of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, though previously it was fully fledged Clan. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. Today that record still holds true with the House continuing to push for an even more successful future. With the downsizing from Clan to House, Taldryan has two Battle Teams: [[Old Folks' Home]] and [[Phoenix Phyle]].

====Training Schemes====

The "Consul's Fist" was the step up from the Consul's Honor Guard. One member from the ranks of the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae served for a term of 3 months. During this time he or she would serve as an extension of the Consul's will across the Brotherhood. Rarely exercising his power directly, the Fist would more often use subterfuge and back-channels to deal with the Consul's problems. However when it was necessary he could unleash his deadly potential in the name of Taldryan. Much as former guard members never completely lost their title, former Fist's would always remain in the Consul's service in some manner. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.

Intelligence gathering and subterfuge should always be a tool in the arsenal of any Dark Jedi. At the time of this portion of information's inclusion, the Dark Jedi in the Dark Brotherhood had become lax and unconcerned with the movements and changes of their enemies.

====Clan Force Powers – Elementalism====

Elementalism was divided into three tiers. The first one had levels one through three, they were Vortex, Fissure, and Water Manipulation. These focused on the basics of the power allowed them to manipulate the currents of the aire, fissures in the earth and controlling where and how a body gathered water. Tier two consisted of levels four through seven which were Barrier, Combustion, Lightning Shield and Cryokinesis. These focused more on the defense with using the earth as a shield, increasing body temperature of any object, electrical energy protection as well as decreasing the temperature of moisture in the air. Tier four were levels eight through twelve, they were Pyrokinesis, Levitation, Kinetic Charge, Elemental Empathy and Elemental Transference. These experienced levels focused on altering the basic elements for fire for offense and defense, wind to levitate, electricity for offense and the last ability to transfer the essence of any element into themselves for their properties.

===Naga Sadow===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Naga Sadow]]
[[Clan Naga Sadow]] is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. The House was reformulated in 33 ABY, formed out of the union of the cults of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In recent years the House's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[starwars:Urias Orian|Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

====Training Schemes====

The [[Dlarit Army]] is the main security and law enforcement division of the [[Dlarit Security Force]]. The Dlarit Army is overseen by the chief of staff, who holds the rank of general and reports to the adjutant general of the DSF. The army is organised into two main branches: the police force and the naval marines. The police provide day to day law enforcement and security for the main mining colonies throughout the [[Orian system]]. There are about fifteen thousand uniformed officers on the streets and in the mines. The marines provide support for the Dlarit Navy, including security for the main space stations above [[Tarthos]].

Enforcement of the Dark Brotherhood Law is one of the tenants of a Clan in the Dark Brotherhood. One of the major reasons behind the Great Jedi Wars of the past were because one Clan broke a tenant or a law and had to be punished in some way. It was the hope of the Consul of Naga Sadow that this self-destructive circle could end in the future.

====Clan Force Powers – Telekinetics====

This was a technique that was specific for Naga Shadow, it had three tiers and twelve levels. The basics were levels one through three and focused on Force Push, Force Barrier, and Telekinetic Grip. These focused on the easy parts to become a gateway towards more powerful techniques. The second tier were levels four through seven that were Projected Fighting, Kinetic Combat, Force Flight and Kinetic Might. These were focused on combat specific techniques in order to help the user gain power of their opponent. The third tier was levels eight to twelve. They were Force Wave, Telekinetic Crush, Force Whrilwind, Kinetic Storm, and Manipulation. This is what the creators themselves were made of and it is with the power of the Inner Order that one can move the stars and shape the galaxy itself.

===Alvaak===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Alvaak-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Alvaak]]
[[Clan Alvaak]] was a clan formed within the Brotherhood when they were operating with the Emperor's Hammer. Formed by Ronin, leader of the Emperor's Hammer, the clan was comprised of houses Tarentum and Satal Keto before they grew to become their own clans. The Clan did not join the rest of the Brotherhood when they left the Emperor's Hammer in what would later be termed the Exodus. Here is some information that the Emperor's Hammer had about Clan Alvaak.

====Clan Force Powers – Mind Control====

Because Clan Alvaak was lost to the generations for some time, the Dark Council Scholars believe that the Mind Control that was unique to this clan, they could not uncover their secrets after Clan Alvaak disappeared. Though it is suspected that the secrets to the clan’s Mind Control abilities are hidden and yet to be found, all that we know is that it is speculated to completely control the enemy against their will.

===Satal Keto===

====Basic Information====

Named after the Krath Lord [[Starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], Clan Satal Keto was once one of seven clans in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood until it was merged with Clan Exar Kun to form Clan Plagueis. It was subsequently divided into houses [[House Aleema|Aleema]], [[House Kirleta|Kirleta]], and [[House Galthain|Galthain]]. Though their remaining strength constantly ebbed. After one particular war, the Clan was irrevocably weakened. It was then that the Crimson Tide, having been hired by an unknown individual, attacked Clan Satal Keto. The two factions battled for four brutal days. Just as the Crimson Tide was beginning to gain the upper hand, [[Consul]] Selket requested aide from Keto's sister Clan, [[Clan Exar Kun]].

====Training Schemes: ====

[[Clan Satal Keto]] based most of their operations on their founders principles. There were no units or military organizations, but each person was in charge of their own protection for their leaders based on his ideals of self preservation and survival of the fittest. If anyone was not strong enough to protect themselves, then they therefore could not protect others in their Clan. Because Satal Keto excelled in space combat, so did the clan. It was a requirement to be part of the Clan, to have extra ordinary piloting skills.

====Clan Force Powers – Dominance====
[[image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Plagueis]]
Because Satal Keto became [[Plagueis]], their force power remained Dominance. This technique focused on Mind Control and Illusion, there were three tiers and twelve levels. Tier one were levels one through three and were composed of Bastion of the Dark Might, Empathic Imprint and Cognitive Prescience. The first three helped affect Force effects by twisting emotions and projecting/receiving with their ability to read thoughts. Tier two were levels four through eight, they were Compulsion, Confusion, Psychic Rendering and Voice of the Dark Master. These were the middle ground, enhancing the mind tricks with implanting, confusing, stunning, brainwashing and compiling their presence to their most effective means. The third and final tier were levels nine through twelve which were Weirdling, Dominate, Mind Lance, Dark Regalia and Gift of Plagueis. The final levels were meant to pro-long his life span by manipulating the midicholrians within his own body. This power is one of such a Dark Nature that the toll it takes is sometimes said to be a sign of a user unworthy the benefits of a prolonged life.

Created initially during the time of [[Grand Master]] [[Kreeayt Havok]] to hold the secrets of the Brotherhood, the HOLOCRON was added onto as the Brotherhood underwent tremendous growth over the next decade. At the time of the [[Exodus]], the holocron was a hepta-hedral with the original portion of the holocron signifying the Dark Council as the centerpiece. During the Exodus, the holocron was broken up into pieces in order to smuggle it out from the [[Emperor's Hammer]], but the ships carrying it away from Eos were ambushed by units of the Avenger Task Force who remained loyal to Grand Admiral Ronin. All of the pieces were recovered eventually by the members of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] except for one, but it has recently been located on New Tython.

==History==

With the ascension of Havok to the position of Grand Master, there was finally a Grand Master to have first been a member of the Emperor’s Hammer before joining the Brotherhood. These Imperial tendencies led him to realize how quickly things could change in the leadership of an organization so he constructed the Umbra Holocron to hold the knowledge of the Dark Council.

As each succeeding Grand Master took over, their knowledge was placed into the holocron as a means of keeping the secrets of the Brotherhood in a safe place. As clans were developed and created, each clan’s consul began putting the training and knowledge of their clans into the holocron as well. A detachable recording piece was built for each clan, and the consul simply had to take their part and imbue it with the secrets that he so wished. Upon its return, the piece would slide into the main holocron resulting in the transfer of the knowledge into the database. This continued for many years until the infamous Astatine became involved in the internal politics of the Brotherhood.

Grand Master Firefox ordered the holocron split up in order to deprive the Emperor’s Hammer the knowledge of the Dark Side, and a ship from each clan was tasked with taking the pieces to their new homes. Just as the ships were departing the moon, a flotilla of vessels from Carrida II appeared to help the Brotherhood members who chose to stay behind. A battle ensued between the opposing factions, and the enemy group attempted to flee via hyperspace. It was a foolhardy move as the damaged vessels caused their linked jump computers to fail, and the pieces were scattered across the galaxy.

Special units were sent out by both the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the Emperor’s Hammer in an attempt to find all of the pieces of the holocron. Many were killed on both sides as they attempted to locate all of the pieces. With the weakening of power of the Emperor’s Hammer, the Dark Brotherhood was able to press their advantage and eventually locate all of the pieces except one. That final piece is located in the Jedi temple on New Tython.

==Keeper==
[[image:Picture-history_havok.jpg‎|thumb|left|175px|GM Kreeayt Havok]]
Upon its completion, it was decided that the holocron should contain all of the teachings that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had to offer. The one tasked with the collection of this knowledge was the current Grand Master, [[Kreeayt Havok]] – the third Grand Master of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Once given the task of gathering the Brotherhood’s knowledge, Havok set out immediately.

Having served in the past as both the Master at Arms and the Head Master at the Shadow Academy, Havok had already accumulated a vast amount of knowledge. Upon his elevation to the position of Grand Master, this knowledge only grew even more impressive. Havok traveled to the power base of each unit under his dominion and whatever information he found, he would store within the holocron, adding to the information of his own that had already been stored.

After Havok’s reign ended, there have been many theories sprouting up regarding his reasons for the construction of this holocron. One theory that seems to loom over all others mentions his apprentice, who would take up the Iron Throne once Kreeayt stepped down. The theory suggests that perhaps Havok could sense the trouble that was to come in the form of his apprentice and, having known this, decided to safeguard the teachings of the Brotherhood, should some terrible threat arise in the future.

== Contributors ==

=== Jac Cotelin ===
[[image:Jac.jpg|thumb|left|175px|GM Jac Cotelin]]
During his first stint as [[Grandmaster]], [[Jac Cotelin]] was one of the youngest people to ever reach the highest ranks within the Brotherhood. This fact led him to become universally feared and respected by the Brotherhood. His intense studies led to issues with Dark Council. However due to his studies he was able to store much of his findings withing the holocron.

It was often remarked about Jac Cotelin’s facial expressions. He was able to display his emotions to the most extreme degrees. The dark side is also often seen to have a wider usage of emotion than the light side. Jac poured his understandings of emotions during his first stint as Grandmaster in to the holocron.

=== Justinian Khyron ===
[[image:Picture-history khyron.jpg|thumb|right|175px|GM Justinian Khyron]]
[[Khyron]] was Cotelin’s successor. His leadership of the Brotherhood was punctuated by a serious uprising, leading to him being temporarily removed from his position. It was under Khyron that the Grandmaster’s Royal Guard was first formed. Khyron began to set up safeguards to prevent the Clans from rising up to overthrow the Iron Throne again.

Khyron’s experience with uprisings and resistance from the Clans of the Brotherhood left him furiously planning to prevent it from ever occurring again. All of his studies, thoughts and final plans should it ever occur again were stored within the holocron for safekeeping.

=== Thedek ===

[[Thedek]] was the ninth serving Grandmaster of the Brotherhood and a extremely influential [[Master at Arms]]. His rule saw modifications to several aspects of the Brotherhood including the Envoy system and the Royal Guard that was established during Khyron’s rule. Importantly it was under Thedek that the Chamber of Justice was created, establishing a system of law within the Brotherhood.

Thedek saw the need for a balance to the way the Brotherhood functioned. He understood there were basic rights, privileges and rules that Brotherhood members needed to follow in order for the Brotherhood to survive. The all out chaos of past large groups of dark side users had always failed because of the lack of rights and rules. Thedek stored the basic operations of the Chamber of Justice within the holocron so that future generations may learn from it and implement it should anything happen to the Brotherhood.

=== Faethor ===
[[image:Picture-chilong.JPG|thumb|left|175px|GM Faethor]]
Grandmaster [[Faethor]] served as the eleventh Grandmaster and was the last to have his full time spent pre-Exodus. He is also notable for having two stints in as the Herald for the Brotherhood. His long time standing service to the Brotherhood and multiple positions held meant that he had large amounts of Dark Council level experience.

The Herald is seen as the “face” of the Brotherhood and one of the large contributors to insuring the Brotherhood’s identity is hidden from the Galaxy at large. Due to his multiple times of experience with this Faethor learned much about the art of deception and concealment. He stored his knowledge of these factors into the holocron during his time as Grandmaster to ensure the Brotherhood could continue to be hidden from prying eyes.

==Description==

The Umbra Holocron is hepta-hedral in shape, meaning it has seven edges and has height. This shape was used to signify the original Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. It was expected that each of the Clans would provide a portion of their skills to the future of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], and this holocron would be the conveyance.

The Holocron is actually eight different sections, one for each of the Clans and one of the Dark Council. The Holocron can be separated into these sections, and requires all of them to be connected before it will function. While separated, the sections are still capable of maintaining the information held within. The [[Dark Council]] central 'hub' contains the emitter and the central processor.

The internal structure of the Holocron is similar to most others discovered throughout the galaxy. The organic crystals were discovered in a cave on [[Eos]], and were protected from the Clans by the Dark Council. [[Kreeayt Havok|Havok]] himself harvested the crystals and formed them into the holomatrix used within the holocron. He used [[Sith Alchemy]] to corrupt the crystals, causing them to shift into a dark red hue.

The outside of the holocron is for protection and for show. The Dark Council section is covered with a thin layer of gold, denoting the importance of this section. The rest of the holocron is crafted out of a smokey metal, a nod to the name, Umbra. The design on top is split between the sections, and uses the colors of the Orders as decoration. The Blue of [[Obelisk]] and the Red of the [[Sith]] and the Purple of the [[Krath]] are all crafted from thinly sliced crystals.

==Contents==

The contents of the Umbra Holocron were split into each of the sections making it up. Each section “belonged” to a Clan of the Brotherhood, insuring their knowledge could be maintained for future generations. It also holds teachings and knowledge stored by the Grandmasters of the Brotherhood during their reigns up to when the holocrons was broken apart for safety under the rule of GM [[Firefox]] during the events of the [[Exodus]].

Tier three was the Inner Darkness that was also levels four through nine but a different path to take within the power tier, they were Sense of Shadows, Shades of the Past, The Shaded Mind, Dark Soul, The Black Chamber and Extinquish the light, and this helped one’s control of shadow and darkness as abstracts along the mental/psychic plane. The last Tier was Shadow Master and was level ten, which was called Darkest night and helped one’s pinnacle of Shadowcrafting.

===Taldryan===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Elementalism taldryan.png|thumb|right|100px|Taldryan]]
[[Taldryan]] is currently the First House of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, though previously it was fully fledged Clan. The Clan was initially founded from Independent [[House Ektrosis]], at which point [[House Archanis]] and [[House Dinaari]] joined with them to complete the structure of what would be the most dominant Clan in the Brotherhood's history. Today that record still holds true with the House continuing to push for an even more successful future. With the downsizing from Clan to House, Taldryan has two Battle Teams: [[Old Folks' Home]] and [[Phoenix Phyle]].

====Training Schemes====

The "Consul's Fist" was the step up from the Consul's Honor Guard. One member from the ranks of the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae served for a term of 3 months. During this time he or she would serve as an extension of the Consul's will across the Brotherhood. Rarely exercising his power directly, the Fist would more often use subterfuge and back-channels to deal with the Consul's problems. However when it was necessary he could unleash his deadly potential in the name of Taldryan. Much as former guard members never completely lost their title, former Fist's would always remain in the Consul's service in some manner. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.

Intelligence gathering and subterfuge should always be a tool in the arsenal of any Dark Jedi. At the time of this portion of information's inclusion, the Dark Jedi in the Dark Brotherhood had become lax and unconcerned with the movements and changes of their enemies.

====Clan Force Powers – Elementalism====

Elementalism was divided into three tiers. The first one had levels one through three, they were Vortex, Fissure, and Water Manipulation. These focused on the basics of the power allowed them to manipulate the currents of the aire, fissures in the earth and controlling where and how a body gathered water. Tier two consisted of levels four through seven which were Barrier, Combustion, Lightning Shield and Cryokinesis. These focused more on the defense with using the earth as a shield, increasing body temperature of any object, electrical energy protection as well as decreasing the temperature of moisture in the air. Tier four were levels eight through twelve, they were Pyrokinesis, Levitation, Kinetic Charge, Elemental Empathy and Elemental Transference. These experienced levels focused on altering the basic elements for fire for offense and defense, wind to levitate, electricity for offense and the last ability to transfer the essence of any element into themselves for their properties.

===Naga Sadow===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Cns-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Naga Sadow]]
[[Clan Naga Sadow]] is the body of Sons, Daughters and Disciples who serve [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]], the heir of the Sadow dynasty and Overlord of the Clan. The House was reformulated in 33 ABY, formed out of the union of the cults of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] and [[starwars:Ludo Kressh|Ludo Kressh]] when the Sadow dynasty reaffirmed its singular rule. It operates under the cover of the Dlarit Corporation. In recent years the House's followers have also adopted the teachings of [[starwars:Urias Orian|Urias Orian]] in addition to those of its three originating cults of disciples.

====Training Schemes====

The [[Dlarit Army]] is the main security and law enforcement division of the [[Dlarit Security Force]]. The Dlarit Army is overseen by the chief of staff, who holds the rank of general and reports to the adjutant general of the DSF. The army is organised into two main branches: the police force and the naval marines. The police provide day to day law enforcement and security for the main mining colonies throughout the [[Orian system]]. There are about fifteen thousand uniformed officers on the streets and in the mines. The marines provide support for the Dlarit Navy, including security for the main space stations above [[Tarthos]].

Enforcement of the Dark Brotherhood Law is one of the tenants of a Clan in the Dark Brotherhood. One of the major reasons behind the Great Jedi Wars of the past were because one Clan broke a tenant or a law and had to be punished in some way. It was the hope of the Consul of Naga Sadow that this self-destructive circle could end in the future.

====Clan Force Powers – Telekinetics====

This was a technique that was specific for Naga Shadow, it had three tiers and twelve levels. The basics were levels one through three and focused on Force Push, Force Barrier, and Telekinetic Grip. These focused on the easy parts to become a gateway towards more powerful techniques. The second tier were levels four through seven that were Projected Fighting, Kinetic Combat, Force Flight and Kinetic Might. These were focused on combat specific techniques in order to help the user gain power of their opponent. The third tier was levels eight to twelve. They were Force Wave, Telekinetic Crush, Force Whrilwind, Kinetic Storm, and Manipulation. This is what the creators themselves were made of and it is with the power of the Inner Order that one can move the stars and shape the galaxy itself.

===Alvaak===

====Basic Information====
[[image:Alvaak-logo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Alvaak]]
[[Clan Alvaak]] was a clan formed within the Brotherhood when they were operating with the Emperor's Hammer. Formed by Ronin, leader of the Emperor's Hammer, the clan was comprised of houses Tarentum and Satal Keto before they grew to become their own clans. The Clan did not join the rest of the Brotherhood when they left the Emperor's Hammer in what would later be termed the Exodus. Here is some information that the Emperor's Hammer had about Clan Alvaak.

====Clan Force Powers – Mind Control====

Because Clan Alvaak was lost to the generations for some time, the Dark Council Scholars believe that the Mind Control that was unique to this clan, they could not uncover their secrets after Clan Alvaak disappeared. Though it is suspected that the secrets to the clan’s Mind Control abilities are hidden and yet to be found, all that we know is that it is speculated to completely control the enemy against their will.

===Satal Keto===

====Basic Information====

Named after the Krath Lord [[Starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]], Clan Satal Keto was once one of seven clans in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood until it was merged with Clan Exar Kun to form Clan Plagueis. It was subsequently divided into houses [[House Aleema|Aleema]], [[House Kirleta|Kirleta]], and [[House Galthain|Galthain]]. Though their remaining strength constantly ebbed. After one particular war, the Clan was irrevocably weakened. It was then that the Crimson Tide, having been hired by an unknown individual, attacked Clan Satal Keto. The two factions battled for four brutal days. Just as the Crimson Tide was beginning to gain the upper hand, [[Consul]] Selket requested aide from Keto's sister Clan, [[Clan Exar Kun]].

====Training Schemes: ====

[[Clan Satal Keto]] based most of their operations on their founders principles. There were no units or military organizations, but each person was in charge of their own protection for their leaders based on his ideals of self preservation and survival of the fittest. If anyone was not strong enough to protect themselves, then they therefore could not protect others in their Clan. Because Satal Keto excelled in space combat, so did the clan. It was a requirement to be part of the Clan, to have extra ordinary piloting skills.

====Clan Force Powers – Dominance====
[[image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Plagueis]]
Because Satal Keto became [[Plagueis]], their force power remained Dominance. This technique focused on Mind Control and Illusion, there were three tiers and twelve levels. Tier one were levels one through three and were composed of Bastion of the Dark Might, Empathic Imprint and Cognitive Prescience. The first three helped affect Force effects by twisting emotions and projecting/receiving with their ability to read thoughts. Tier two were levels four through eight, they were Compulsion, Confusion, Psychic Rendering and Voice of the Dark Master. These were the middle ground, enhancing the mind tricks with implanting, confusing, stunning, brainwashing and compiling their presence to their most effective means. The third and final tier were levels nine through twelve which were Weirdling, Dominate, Mind Lance, Dark Regalia and Gift of Plagueis. The final levels were meant to pro-long his life span by manipulating the midicholrians within his own body. This power is one of such a Dark Nature that the toll it takes is sometimes said to be a sign of a user unworthy the benefits of a prolonged life.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var Rhen Var ], where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nomi_Sunrider Nomi Sunrider ], found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvar Sylvar], who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side ] starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corusca_gem Corusca gems ]pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transparisteel transparisteel ]and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Library Great Jedi Library ]on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ossus Ossus ]. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Empress_Teta Empress Teta ] system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Satal_Keto Satal Keto ], Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aleema_Keto Aleema]. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Krath Krath ]. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var Rhen Var ], where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nomi_Sunrider Nomi Sunrider ], found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvar Sylvar], who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side ] starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corusca_gem Corusca gems ]pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transparisteel transparisteel ]and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Library Great Jedi Library ]on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ossus Ossus ]. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Empress_Teta Empress Teta ] system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var Rhen Var ], where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nomi_Sunrider Nomi Sunrider ], found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvar Sylvar], who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side ] starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corusca_gem Corusca gems ]pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transparisteel transparisteel ]and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Library Great Jedi Library ]on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ossus Ossus ]. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var Rhen Var ], where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nomi_Sunrider Nomi Sunrider ], found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvar Sylvar], who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side ] starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corusca_gem Corusca gems ]pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Transparisteel transparisteel ]and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var Rhen Var ], where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nomi_Sunrider Nomi Sunrider ], found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvar Sylvar], who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]]. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of House Odan-Urr. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel-Droma Ulic Qel-Droma ] was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arca_Jeth Arca Jeth ].

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Onderon Onderon ], and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Rider Beast Riders ]of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galia Queen Galia ]quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd ] appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deneba Deneba ], a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]

===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to attain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

[[File:RhenVar.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Rhen Var]]
===Beginnings===
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggan.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

Not much is known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost four thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

[[File:NewTython.jpg|thumb|right|150px|New Tython]]
===New Tython===

It is not known how or when exactly the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima-Da-Boda Vima-Da-Boda ], a very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Neema-Da-Boda Neema-Da-Boda ]to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

[[File:UlicDeath.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Ulic's death]]

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of House Odan-Urr. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made from tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening each chain link. The links in the chain are tiny, barely three millimeters, creating yet another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements are combined to create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than that of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with very little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's way of mocking the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which run parallel to each other around the circumference of the ring. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Known Former Owners==
===Ulic Qel-Droma===
[[File:Ulic.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ulic Qel-Droma]]
'''Beginnings'''

Ulic Qel-Droma was an Alderaanian Human and, along with his brother Cay, was born to Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma. His mother did not immediately teach him the ways of the Force because she didn’t want the Master-Apprentice role to take precedent over her relationship with him. She waited until she believed Ulic was old enough, before sending him to be apprenticed under the Arkanian Jedi Master Arca Jeth.

As a youth, Ulic constantly felt unworthy, lacking greatly in self confidence. Ulic worked hard to gain respect from his superiors, by applying himself to his studies and other activities. Initially, he focused on other activities, and only once all other subjects had been exhausted, he pushed himself into the study of the Force. Once he began to understand the ways of the Force, he was a natural Force user, growing in knowledge quickly which helped to improve his self-confidence.

Qel-Droma was an excellent apprentice under Master Jeth, but was often over-enthusiastic and would draw criticism from his Master for not thinking before acting. It was also during this time under Master Jeth, that Qel-Droma constructed his first lightsaber.

[[File:ArcaJeth.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Arca Jeth]]
====Early encounters - 4000 ABY====

Soon after beginning his training, Ulic was summoned to Master Jeth's chambers regarding an urgent matter. Jeth explained the situation on the planet of Onderon, and discussed the war currently being waged on its surface. Qel-Droma expected his master to be sent on this mission; instead he was selected in his Master's place. Given the title of Chargeman, he was told to bring the Beast Wars to a peaceful resolution. Jeth made sure to tell his apprentice that fighting should always be the last resort.

Being unable to find a peaceful solution, Qel-Droma ended up failing the test that he’d been given by his Master. He won the battle for the Beast Riders of Onderon by using a Force power known as battle meditation. Master Jeth was extremely displeased and he told Qel-Droma that he should have sensed the working of the dark side from the moment he arrived on Onderon.

After the Beast Wars, Naddist cult members rebelled against the new monarchy. Qel-Droma and his Jedi Watchmen were charged with defending Onderon. Queen Galia quietly mentioned to Qel-Droma and Jeth that her father, King Ommin, a dark side master himself, was still alive under the city. They both realized this could be one of the reasons that Onderon was plagued.

[[File:FreedonNadd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Freedon Nadd]]
Qel-Droma, Master Jeth, and Queen Galia went to meet Master Ommin, who was in a medical fortress underground. The underground passage was so dark that Qel-Droma had to use the Force to see and navigate the path to Ommin. When they arrived, Ommin spoke cryptic words about the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd still being with them. Freedon Nadd then materialized as a Force Ghost and showed himself to the Jedi. Master Jeth realized that Ommin had practiced Sith magic to summoned Freedon Nadd.

Ommin attacked Jeth and smothered him in dark side energy before Qel-Droma had a chance to help his Master. Warb Null and Naddist cult members entered. Qel-Droma ignited his lightsaber and prepared to defend Queen Galia. As he was defending the queen he witnessed Master Jeth being carried off by King Ommin. Null's dark power drained some of Qel-Droma's strength, but Ulic was still able to kill him and defeat the Naddist force. He escaped with the queen and called other Jedi to aid them in the coming fight to retake Iziz.

====Battle with the Dark Side====

Qel-Droma and the Jedi were in the Fortress Kira; the Dark Side was taking his life force and they were unable to fight. The Republic forces he’d called were led by Knight Nomi Sunrider. Sunrider too used battle meditation, and soon Qel-Droma and the other trapped Jedi were recharged and ready to fight. The combined forces went on to win the battle. In this moment Ulic began to see some of the benefits of Sith magic.

Qel-Droma realized it was up to him to rescue his Master Jeth. He questioned Ommin on the whereabouts of Master Jeth. Instead of giving Ulic the information he needed, Ommin attacked him using the Dark Side of the Force. Qel-Droma attacked back with the Light Side and cut through Ommin’s armature with his lightsaber. Ommin still wouldn’t disclose Master Jeth's location. The spirit of Freedon Nadd appeared at Ommin's side killing him. Master Jeth then arrived, freed by Ommin's death. Nadd, as he disappeared, claimed the Jedi actually lost.

[[File:SatalKeto.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Satal Keto]]
====Rise of the Krath Within Ulic====
{{Quote|You. You will be one of the great ones—|The spirit of Freedon Nadd foretells Ulic Qel-Droma's destiny}}

Soon after the Freedon Nadd uprising, Ulic and the Jedi were sent to the Empress Teta system where Satal and Aleema Keto had used Sith magic taught to them by King Ommin to seize control.

Qel Droma made his way to the Jedi outpost nearby the region, where he met a droid named T 12 who gave him a Sith amulet. Qel-Droma put his hands on the amulet; the spirit of Freedon Nadd suddenly appeared to him. Nadd then foretold the Jedi that he would be one of the "great ones". He was curious what this meant, but it sparked something deep within him. Did he summon Freedon Nadd?

[[File:NaddandUlic.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Freedon Nadd and Ulic Qel-Droma]]
====The Loss of his Master====

{{Quote|I will do this for Master Arca… for all Jedi Knights… and for the good of the Republic! Ulic Qel-Droma will conquer the dark side of the Force!|Ulic Qel-Droma after the Battle of Deneba}}

During the Jedi convocation at the Mid Rim planet Deneba, a plan was hatched to infiltrate the Krath. Master Jeth was adamant that the path of the dark side would inevitably lead to disaster. A Krath fleet arrived and a battle ensued, Master Jeth was mortally wounded and Qel-Droma held him as he died. Seeing his Master die that way broke Ulic’s spirit, he became enraged.

====Departure====

{{Quote|"I'm leaving at dawn, Cay. Don't try to follow me."
"Stang, Ulic… I… I'll never see you again. I just know it."
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid! Everything will work out fine! We'll be joking about this together in a few months!" |Ulic Qel-Droma and his brother Cay bid each other good-bye}}

Qel-Droma left to infiltrate the Krath. With the death of his Master fresh in his mind, he sought revenge. He went with Nomi Sunrider to the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. With Ood Bnar assisting, he got the complete history on the Empress Teta system. Ulic began a quest for knowledge and couldn’t get enough. Between the Sith magic, the alchemy and the possibility of destroying someone mentally, he was hungry for more information.

====Path of no return====

{{Quote|—but I need to know more. I need more time. Tell them not to come looking for me. When I have learned everything I need to know about the dark side… I will return to Ossus. Please understand I must break the power of Keto and Aleema… they are responsible for the death of Master Arca.|Ulic Qel-Droma, in a recorded message to Nomi Sunrider}}

Qel-Droma became engaged in a battle with Keto where a fatal blow was dealt to Keto at Ulic’s hand. Keto informed Qel-Droma that his anger had activated a Sith poison in him that had been injected in the chaos. Qel-Droma flashed back to what Fredon Nadd had said—that he was on a path of no return. That he was going to become one of the “great ones.” Rage, fear and pain swirled through his brain taking him deeper and deeper.

====Destiny fulfilled====

{{Quote|Let it be so, Qel-Droma… the ancient Sith have spoken. Together we will bring down the galaxy!"
"Yes. Let it be so.|Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma}}

After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to the Iron Citadel and took a new lover, Aleema. He had no regard for his previous relations with Sunrider, he was on a path of destruction and self-fulfillment considering nothing but himself. He became a bloodthirsty strategist. Qel-Droma still considered himself a member of the Jedi Order on some levels, he’d been called a Jedi and his Master’s words rang in his ears. Soon he put his hatred and mistrust for the dark side aside to pursue his mission inside the Krath. After he converted to the dark side, his confidence and ego bloomed, but he had a hard edge. He betrayed Nomi for Aleema and then killed his own brother; this once Jedi was now on a path of destruction. He then went into a self imposed exile, where he roamed the galaxy for 8 years. He hired a spacer named Hoggan to help him find a place to be alone; but instead ended up in a place with a Sith temple where he was shown the criminal and heinous things he’d done. Hoggan then took him to Rhen Var, where Ulic would take on his first apprentice, Vima Sunrider (Nomi’s daughter) Between the judgment he felt for his acts, and life coming full circle by mentoring Nomi’s daughter, Ulic had enough light in him to realize he’d fallen to the Dark Side.

====DEATH - 3986 BBY====

Sylvar, a Cathar Jedi came to Rhen Var to avenge her lover’s death, one of Ulic’s many kills. Qel-Droma asked Sylvar to let go of her anger as he had done in his guilt, and had a self imposed judgment on himself… Sylvar still enraged, attacked him and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Qel-Droma pleaded for Sylvar to bury her past…she called him “Jedi” which caught his attention and he would no longer be an aggressor in the battle. Hoggan shot him, seeing the opportunity to take out a known Sith criminal. He became one with the Force, as many Jedi Masters did, as he had made peace within himself and restored balance.

[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]
===Nomi Sunrider===

[[starwars:Nomi Sunrider |Nomi Sunrider ]] was a Jedi Knight who served in the days of the Galactic Republic. Before becoming a Jedi she was married to Andur Sunrider who was training to become a Jedi. They had one Daughter together, Vima Sunrider. Her husband was killed by Pirates and appeared to Nomi instructing her to learn the ways of the force. She studied first under Jedi Master Thon and later under the esteemed [[starwars:Odan-Urr| Odan-Urr]].

She first met [[starwars:Ulic Qel-Droma|Ulic Qel-Droma]] during the Freedon Nadd Uprising on Onderon. The two had an immediate connection and eventually fell in love. However with Ulic's fall to the dark side Nomi once again lost the man she loved and returned the ring he had once given to her. He kept this ring throughout his life unwilling to let go of the past. Nomi herself believed that Ulic was still able to be turned back from the dark side. She tried on numerous occasions to bring him back to the Jedi Order.

When Ulic struck his own brother down in a duel, it was Nomi who took the drastic action of severing Ulic from his connection with the Force. Ulic, feeling pain over what he had done to his brother Cay, as well as defeated by the effects of Nomi's punishment, repented and agreed to help Nomi and the other Jedi end the war which he had helped start. Nomi herself eventually went on to become the Head of the Jedi Order and was present at the death of Ulic Qel-droma where he died in her arms, shot in the back by the pilot [[starwars:Hoggan| Hoggan]].

===Vima Sunrider===
[[File:VimaSunrider.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Vima Sunrider]]
Vima Sunrider was a Human Jedi Knight who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, who was also a Jedi Knight. During her time as a Jedi, Vima was trained by multiple masters, among those included her mother Nomi and Ulic Qel-Droma. At one point, Vima began to grow frustrated at her mother for not spending much time training her, which then caused her to seek out someone that would provide further training.

It was at this time that Vima managed to stow away on the transport of a spacer named Hoggan. Although the man would discover her, he nonetheless took her to Rhen Var, a frozen world located in the Outer Rim. After arriving on the planet’s surface, Vima sought out the former Jedi Knight and one-time Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma, who had known Vima’s mother Nomi and had also been brought to Rhen Var by Hoggan at some point in the past. Vima searched the planet and eventually found the place in which Qel-Droma had been residing, asking him to train her in the ways of the Jedi. Although Qel-Droma had initially refused to train Vima, he reluctantly agreed to do so after rescuing her from a blizzard that had been raging outside.

[[File:VimaDoBoda.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Vima Da Boda]]
Not long before Vima’s training was complete, her mother arrived on Rhen Var and tried to take Vima home. Vima refused and stated that Qel-Droma was her master and then demonstrated what she had learned while under his tutelage. Shortly after this exchange, Qel-Droma was fatally wounded – shot by Hoggan, who had brought Vima to Rhen Var. Before his passing, Qel-Droma called Vima a Jedi for the first time and removed a necklace that he wore, entrusting its care to Vima and thanked her for helping him to find peace.

Over the years, Vima Sunrider would eventually become one of the greatest Jedi Masters of her generation, and even thousands of years later she would be referred to as ‘legendary’. She still kept the ring necklace that Ulic Qel-Droma had given to her before his death, which she would pass on to her descendants. Eventually, the necklace would fall into the hands of Vima-Da-Boda and then her daughter, Neema-Da-Boda. However, upon Neema’s death, the ring necklace was seemingly lost to the sands of time.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

[[File:UnderTemple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Altar]]
In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

A small talisman that was given by the man who was one of the greatest Light and Dark Jedi of all time is now the prize of battle in the conflict between the Brotherhood and the followers of [[Odan-Urr]] on [[New Tython]]. [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic_Qel_Droma Ulic Qel-Droma] gave the necklace to his student, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vima_Sunrider Vima Sunrider], as he lay dying thousands of years ago, and it was imbued with the power of the Force upon his death. Both sides seek to contain and control the power of the artifact.

==History==

The history of Ulic Qel-Droma necklace counts over four thousand years. There are some validated records about the history of the artifact, but a portion of information about it is based upon unconfirmed gossips and rumours.

===Beginnings===
[[File:Nomi.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Nomi Sunrider]]
After losing the connection to the Force Ulic Qel-Droma fled to Rhen Var, where he found a shelter. Some time later, his location was discovered by young female Jedi, Vima Sunrider, who asked him to teach her the ways of the Jedi, as she was disappointed with the attitude of her mother, who did not have much time for her. Qel-Droma reluctantly agreed to do so. Finally, Vima’s mother, Nomi Sunrider, found them and tried to force her daughter to leave Vima’s new master.

Vima guided her mother to the sculptures of Arca Jeth and Andur Sunrider, where they talked about Qel-Droma and his teachings. However, in meanwhile the former Jedi was attacked by a Cathar Jedi, Sylvar, who hated him for the death of Sylvar’s lover. Still, Qel-Droma managed to convince his opponent to leave the anger and hatred. They both deactivated their lightsabers, but Ulic was deadly shot by a spacer, known as Hoggon.

Passing away, Ulic Qel-Droma gave his necklace to his student, Vima Sunrider, and called her a Jedi.

===Lost to History===

It is not very much known about the further history of the necklace. It is assumed that it was inherited by the descendants of Vima Sunrider for almost thousand years. They studied its powers and the ways to use the necklace. The owners of this artifact always claimed it to be the most valuable of all their possessions. It was so not because of its features, but due to the fact that it was regarded as the symbol of redemption. The history of its first owner, Ulc Qel-Droma, was told to every member of the Sunrider family, in order to prevent them from joining the Dark Side and to make sure that the others would never stop in their efforts to redeem their fallen relatives.

It is rumoured that some of the most powerful descendants of Vima Sunrider were able to add some of the powers to the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma or to strenghten and improve the already existing ones. However, there is no reliable source of information that could confirm these rumours and it cannot be determined if it is truth or not.

===New Tython===

It is not known how and when exactly was the necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma brought to New Tython, which is now the homeworld of the Jedi of House Odan-Urr. However, it is suspected that Vima-Da-Boda, very distant descendant of Vima Sunrider and the member of the Jedi Order in the last century before the destruction of the Old Republic, decided to hide it in a safe location after the fall of her daughter to the Dark Side. It is believed that she hid the necklace on New Tython some time between the Great Jedi Purge and the colonization of the planet in the 3 ABY, when the planet was not inhabited by any colonists from the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

===Rediscovery===

The artifact was rediscovered in early 34 ABY by the members of House Odan-Urr. It was found in a cave somewhere in the central mountain range of Owyhyee continent. They studied the necklace and discovered its special features. However, it made the leaders of the House keep it in the secret, hidden deep in the vault of Odan-Urr. They decided to hide it in order to protect less powerful Jedi from possible influence of the artifact and because they were afraid that the necklace could be of use for the Dark Jedi. However, the spies of the Dark Council managed to learn about the location of the artifact.

==Description==

The Necklace of Qel-Droma is, in fact, two separate parts, the union of which creates the artifact. A long strand of golden chain is looped through a ring and fastened at each end. The ring is the centerpiece of the necklace, as it holds the most significance to Ulic Qel-Droma.

The chain itself is made up of tightly interwoven strands of gold, linked together in a long chain. Each weave has three strands, strengthening the each chain link. Each link in the chain is tiny, barely three millimeters, creating another level of intricacy. Due to the natural weakness of gold, the strands are an alloy of carbon, iron, silver and gold. All these elements create a strong bond, but with the malleability of a softer metal. Because of this, the chain is comfortable to wear and has a soft skin feeling.

The ring is an important part of Qel-Droma's life and his heart. Originally presented to Nomi Sunstrider as a gift, it was not accepted, because she could see the Dark Side starting to take hold over him. By not accepting the ring, she protected herself from whatever the Dark side of him had in store. It was considered by some historians that this event only helped to fuel his fall from the Light side.

Though the ring has been altered over time, it's original design is still known. A simple gold alloy, similar to that used for the chain, but with more silver, creating a white gold effect. This contrasts well with the gold of the chain, even though the original pieces were separate, and were joined sometime during Qel-Droma's life. The alloy is also far stronger than the alloy of the chain, thereby creating a stiffer ring, with little give. It is considered that this 'feature' of the ring was Qel-Droma's rebellion against the ways of the Jedi, and their restrictive rules.

The ring is rounded, with a thin bevel on the edges. The bevel cuts slightly into the rounded portion of the ring, creating a stretched Omega when looking at the cross-section. This design feature creates a shadowing effect in bright light situations by reflecting light towards the central portion of the ring. In this same vain, colored light can also be reflected, creating a dazzling fade of color.

The bevel creates two thin lines which runs the circumference of the ring, running parallel to each other. Right at the center of the ring, a narrow groove runs parallel to the other two. This center feature is a deep inlay of another material. Thin shavings of Corusca gems pressed into the gap create a garden-of-crystal effect when looking into the crevice. The Corusca gem is one of the most valued precious gems in the galaxy, sought after for its beauty. It would have taken an artisan a very long time to create this groove, with the gem shavings. This feature also increases the market value of the ring as a piece of jewelry.

The intervening surface of gold has a rough texture. This texture is not from the ring being unfinished, but was an intended feature of the item. Carefully ground areas have a rough, but uniform feeling as one runs one's finger over it. This texture creates pockets of shading throughout the metal of the outer side of the ring.

On the inside of the band, the metal is clean and polished to a brilliance. There is a small inscription found here, naming the intended, Nomi Sunstrider, etched in Ulic's own handwriting. The letters were then 'dressed' with silver, making them stand out to the eye of a viewer.

It was only after Ulic's fall to the Dark Side that the ring and chain were combined. It acted as an anchor for him, a part of his past that he could cling to. It is during his time aligned to the Dark Side and the Krath that the ring was marred with battle damage and Ulic's own scratchings. It is unknown what he intended to do with the ring, but it was a constant part of his apparel throughout his tenure as a Sith Lord.

When rediscovered, the ring and chain had been restored to pristine condition, and it was kept in a sealed container of transparasteel and wood.

==Power==

The necklace of Ulic Qel-Droma was with him through his path in the dark side. It was the constant reminder his life before his fall. His focus and obsession of keeping it with him throughout the end of his life. The constant contact gave the necklace interesting property of absorbing the feelings and thoughts of the user.

Due to the fact that Ulic spent a great deal of his time having this necklace represent his past life it began to absorb those parts of himself; The necklace was filled his pain, suffering, and hatred. It was believed that part of his return to the ways of the Jedi were due to the necklace absorbing and storing his dark side emotions. Moments of doubt about his life were occasionally pulled to the surface because it was absorbing that hatred allowing his other emotions to bubble to the surface.

This aspect had been demonstrated several times over the millennia with holders able to pour the emotional forces of the dark side into the necklace and become more strongly aligned with the light side. It is believed that the vessel can work the opposite way, allowing the user to store any feelings of mercy or doubts about the dark side into it.

This is particularly of interest to the Brotherhood as the fleeting emotions of compassion can weaken a user of the dark side. By storing memories and emotions that weaken the user. The intense focus and clarity that this gives will allow the user to fully realize their current abilities and power.

The necklace is simply a vessel which the wearer can store their feelings, thoughts and emotions into. There is no improvement of skills or natural ability, instead gives the clarity and focus needed to reach the wearers full potential. However this function can be incredibly useful and powerful to the wearer.

==Altar==

The Altar Area in which the Necklace of Qel-Droma was stored was pristine despite its clear ancient age. It was at the very end of a complicated and intricate carved maze system. The end of the maze housed the altar which was surrounded by four thick, cracked columns surrounded by white vines because of absence of light.

There was a fifth and sixth column that had collapsed because of natural earthquakes throughout the years. It was covered in dark green moss, nests from rodents were scattered around the floor against the side. Throughout the maze were also creature’s native to New Tython, skeletons of smaller animals littered the floor, marks on their bones suggested knowing and biting.

In dark corners, they would jump at the intruders of the Brotherhood, in their instinct the Jedi instilled for them to protect this artifact with their lives. When recovered by the Brotherhood, they had to climb walls in the maze had collapsed in various areas because of the earthquakes as well. The artifact was still in its sealed container of transparent steel wood box. The doorways to the center of the maze housing the stone were heat sensors.

This would send a primary signal to the guard to be aware of any other wires, but because there were animals within the maze, they had a secondary defense. Around the stone trapezoid, there were multiple laser wire trips to alert the guard. If anything was disturbed, it sent a signal immediately to the guard and the special task force. The box was then encased in a trapezoid tone. On the sides of this stone, green algae grew around the sides and corner, surprisingly avoiding the intricately carved words on the front face. The words on the stone face surrounding the box was a complicated riddle,

<div><center>''I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?''</center></div>

This riddle was very difficult because the mind leads directly to the Force as the answer to this riddle. Which in fact, it is not. The answer is the letter E in basic. If one answers the riddle correctly, the stone cracks and reveals the small box containing the ring. House Odan-Urr was in charge of guarding the artifact for its history.

They figured having part of it hidden, it would be alright because the artifact was locked in the box within the stone. Because of their responsibility over it, it is housed deep underground under their main temple. Very few have access to this area in the bowl of their quarters because the less people that knew of its existence the better. If the riddle was cracked and the stone burst, the transparent box was revealed holding the chain and ring.

There was always someone on guard duty in a secret area so that if the caves started to collapse, then Odan-Urr would be able to defend the artifact if the intruder was not crushed. After the Brotherhood recovered the artifact, the guard put out a call and summoned a special tactical unit hidden in some barracks near the entrance to the maze. With this call, the wall broke revealing a squad of highly trained Jedi with multiple battle droids. Their task; eliminate any intruders attempting to steal the artifact. A dramatic battle ensued for the ownership of this artifact.

Born of a culture thousands of years old, the group Ordo's Mercenaries is a loosely affiliated group of warriors, the majority of whom are derived from [[starwars:Clan Ordo|Clan Ordo]]. They use tactics and martial ability to defeat their enemies, and those of whom pays them the most, and are quite capable at hit-and-run attacks.

==History==
[[File:Mando3.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorians at war]]

The [[starwars:Mandalorian|Mandalorians]] are a group of warriors that seemingly thrived on warfare. Their culture placed a high value on honor and the preservation of their beliefs and way of life.

===Formation===
{{Quote|I think I need something more than killing and fighting in my life. I need a purpose or something like that.|Canderous Ordo, later known as [[starwars:Mandalore the Preserver|Mandalore the Preserver]]}}

Following the defeat of the Mandalorians in 3960 BBY, at the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars, the surviving members of the various clans scattered throughout space. It wasn’t until around 3955-3953 BBY that one Mandalorian named Canderous Ordo sought to rebuild and reunite the scattered clans once again, solidifying the power of the Mandalorian people. One of these surviving clans was Clan Ordo.

[[File:Canderous.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Canderous Ordo]]
===The Dark Wars===
{{Quote|...if you betray us, I'll kill you. If your weakness causes one of my people to get hurt, I'll kill you. If you slow us down, I'll kill you. Is that clear?|Veela Ordo, to [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]}}

Taking place during roughly 3,955-3,951 BBY, the Dark Wars was a period within which there was much conflict. Of particular note were the [[starwars:First Jedi Purge|First Jedi Purge]] and the [[starwars:Sith Civil War|Sith Civil War]].

The First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War took place at roughly the same time (3,954-3,951 BBY and 3,956-3,950 BBY, respectively). During the First Jedi, the Sith Triumvirate, consisting of [[starwars:Darth Traya|Darth Traya[[, [[starwars:Darth Sion|Darth Sion]], and [[starwars:Darth Nihilus|Darth Nihilus]], began to consolidate their power with the surviving members of Revan’s forces of the Sith Empire. After they had accomplished this, they then began to hunt down and exterminate the Jedi that were scattered throughout the galaxy.

The Sith Civil War was a period of infighting between the consolidated forces of the Sith Lords, which now consisted of Sion and Nihilus after they exiled Traya. The aftermath of both the First Jedi Purge and the Sith Civil War saw the destruction of the Sith Triumvirate, the downfall of the Sith Empire, and the ranks of the Jedi nearly being wiped out.

===Into the Shadows===
{{Quote|I mourn our fallen brethren, as I know you all do. However, now is not the time for more conflict; we should gather our people and rebuild our strength. We will be back, but only when the time is ripe.| Unknown Mandalorian leader}}

In the years since the Dark War, Clan Ordo has tried to stay more to the shadows, slowly building up and consolidating their power. It is unclear as to why this was being done, but there have been many theories regarding this matter. Some people have speculated that perhaps they have been gearing up for something big in the future, even if Clan Ordo does not yet know what that event may be.

More recently, Clan Ordo has become a mercenary group, selling their services to the highest bidder. This line of work has served the Mandalorians well in the past and this time is certainly no exception. With a culture that places honor in such high regard and one that seems to thrive on conflict, it seems like the mercenary way of life fits these people perfectly.

[[File:Mando5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Coming to the aid of Odan-Urr]]
===Assisting the Light===
{{Quote|It is time...time that we emerge from the shadows which have concealed our presence and show the galaxy that the Mandalorians still exist! Time to show them that we are back in full force, and that we will not be forgotten!|Marex Holidan}}

Their long period of silence ended abruptly in 35 ABY when the Dark Jedi Brotherhood broke out in war once again. The Houses and Clans of the Brotherhood all rallied together against one of their own, House Odan-Urr – the House which follows the Light Side of the Force. Having limited defenses of their own, the leaders of Odan-Urr, along with Brotherhood exile and fellow Jedi Michael Halcyon, hired the Mandalorians of Clan Ordo to come to their aid in standing against the combined forces of the Brotherhood.

==Weapons and Armor==
[[File:Mando2.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mandalorian warrior in full gear]]
Mandalorians are known to carry weapons that are customized to their specific skill sets. Each warrior is different, thus they carry different weapons. That being said, the Mandalorian fighters share some common equipment. Most notably, Mandalorians wear the same style of armor.

This easily recognizable armor is often made from the legendary metal [[Starwars:Mandalorian Iron|Beskar]]. Commonly known as Mandalorian Iron, this metal can deflect blaster bolts and is resistant to [[starwars:lightsaber|lightsaber]] strikes. This nearly indestructible metal adds to the deadliness of the Mandalorians.

Beyond its strength, [[starwars:Mandalorian Armor | Mandalorian Armor]] is known for its color schemes. Like their weaponry, each warrior’s armor is uniquely painted for the individual. Colors often represent the warrior’s state of mind. Gold, for example, represents vengeance. Green represents duty. Green and blue are two common colors for Mandalorians to wear. Individual markings on the armor represent the Mandalorian’s clan, as well as personal triumphs.

A Mandalorian’s Helmet is full of state of the art equipment. Easily identified by its iconic T-shaped visor, a Mandalorian helmet made them extremely effective killers. Broadband antennae are used to intercept and transmit messages. The state of the art heads up display provides a Mandalorian the ability to record and play back video, a 360 degree view, target tracking, and a range of other abilities. These functions are controlled by eye movements monitored by a complex

In addition to their Armor, almost every Mando uses a jetpack. The [[starwars:Z-6 jetpack | Z-6 jet pack]] provides the warriors with the ability to launch aerial assaults. Containing enough fuel for three 20 second bursts (or 1 minute of sustained flight), the jetpacks were often modified to contain a rocket launcher. Rockets could be replaced with grappling hooks, anti-personnel weaponry, and anti-vehicle devices.

As previously stated, every Mandalorian chooses their weapons in accordance with their skills. That being said, there were often some common weapons used among them. Mandalorians prided themselves on being heavily armed with a wide array of weaponry. Pistols, blaster rifles, missile launchers, and wrist lasers were common among all Mandalorian fighters. Wrist mounted [[starwars:MM9 rocket system|rocket launcher]], flame throwers, lasers, and vibroblades were common among warriors.

The Tenloss [[starwars:DX-6 disruptor|DX-6 disruptor]] was a commonly used weapon.

Additionally, many Mandalorians favored the [[starwars:EE-3 carbine blaster|EE-3 carbine blaster]]. This weapon provided unmatched power and accuracy. The weapon was short barreled and could be easily shouldered. Warriors would often outfit their weapon with a scope, providing them the ability to strike at distance.

Many Mandalorians carried several side-arms. A favorite among them was the [[starwars:Westar-34|Westar-34]] blaster pistol. These weapons were often custom made for individuals. The Westar-34 was known for having a powerful shot.

[[starwars:Concussion Grenade|Concussion Grenade]] launchers are another favorite piece of the Mandalorian arsenal.

Mandalorians were known to use the [[starwars:Wing-Blast Rocket Pack|Wing-Blast Rocket Pack]]. Unlike their jetpacks, the Rocket Packs were heavily armed single person weapons platforms capable of sustained atmospheric and deep space flight. Armed with heavy blaster cannons, missile launchers, and a full sized [[starwars:proton torpedo|Proton Torpedo]] launcher. These rocket packs were able to cause massive amounts of damage on their targets.

==Fleet==

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Darasuum''===
[[File:DREAD.jpg|thumb|Left|200px|The ''Darasuum'']]

Nearly twice the age of those who serve on it, the [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] ''Darasuum'' has gradually become the lead command ship for Ordo's Mercenaries by way of simple survival and longevity. Battered durasteel welded on top of more battered durasteel make the ''Darasuum'' not only slow but quite ugly to look at. Nevertheless, a combination of nostalgia and unquestionable dependability cast a different light on how the Mercenaries view the aged ship. Many who are not deployed upon it wish they were, and few who are wish they were not.

Beyond providing a headquarters for naval command, the ''Darasuum'' also serves as a heavy hitter in ship-to-ship confrontations. The ship's armaments have gone through several overhauls, the current configuration being 15 Heavy Turbolasers, 15 Turbolasers, 10 Quad laser cannons, and a pair of Concussion Missile Launchers. Another modification, though common, was that of extensive upgrades to the ship's control systems, getting rid of the need for massive amount of crew members. Lastly, the ''Darasuum'' is also home to the ''Gra'tuar'', a squadron of [[starwars:StarViper-class attack platform|''StarViper''-class Fighters]] piloted by only the most gifted starfighter pilots in Ordo's Mercenaries.

===''Dreadnaught''-Class Heavy Cruiser ''Parjai''===

Originally purchased in a failed attempt to replace the ''Darasuum'', the ''Parjai'' is also a [[starwars:Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class heavy cruiser]] manufactured at the tail end of the Dreadnaught's prime. An impressive list of upgrades and technological advancements, however, could not prevail against the Ordo Mercenaries' love for the ''Darasuum''. Nonetheless, the ''Parjai'' has served admirably as a very capable sister ship, its advanced sensor packaging and more nimble maneuverability helping to offset some of the ''Darasuum'''s weaknesses.

The upgraded Dreadnaught's original armaments have thus far been left unchanged, leaving it with 20 Light quad turbolaser cannons, 15 Turbolaser batteries, and 15 Turbolaser cannons. The ''Parjai'' has, however, foregone any upgrades in terms of starfighter storage. Such space has alternatively been used to house various landing craft and armored transports.

===Task Force Ara'novor===
[[File:STRKC.jpg|thumb|left|150px|One of two ''Strike''-class Medium Cruisers in Task Force Ara'novor]]

Task Force Ara'novor is composed of the Fleet's sole [[starwars:Keldabe-class battleship|''Keldabe''-class battleship]] and a pair of [[starwars:Strike-class medium cruiser|''Strike''-class medium cruisers]]. While the two Dreadnaughts provide the bulk of the firepower, Task Force Ara'novor's purpose is often to spearhead ship-to-ship engagements, using their greater maneuverability in flanking and pincer movements to out position enemy forces. The ''Keldabe''-class battleship, although having few batteries, is outfitted with 3 squadrons of [[starwars:BTL Y-wing starfighter|Y-wing Bombers]], affording it the ability to pound the opposition with large payloads of various bombs and missiles. Alternatively, the Striker Cruisers only house a single squad of [[starwars:E-wing escort starfighter|E-wing starfighters]] a piece, relying on their Turbolaser batteries to deal out the bulk of their damage while saving space for supplies and ground-based vessels.

===Task Force Chekar===
[[File:Crusader_corvette.jpg|thumb|right|200px|One of Three ''Crusader''-Class Corvettes in Task Force Chekar]]

A triplet of [[starwars:Crusader-class corvette|''Crusader''-Class Corvettes]] combined with a second triplet of [[starwars:Gallofree Yards, Inc.|Gallofree]] [[starwars:GR-75 medium transport|GR-75 medium transports]] makes up the Fleet's second Task Force, named Chekar. Packed tightly with as many warriors, weapons, and foodstuffs as possible, Task Force Chekar is primarily utilized for dynamic ground assaults. This isn't to say, however, that Chekar serves no purpose in space combat. While lacking much in the way of ship-to-ship weaponry, Task Force Chekar is also used to ward off smaller craft such as fighters and light freighters.

===The Shabla Kote===

Even though a full wing of fighters are permanently housed in the Fleet's various ships, an ever changing number of starfighters make up a secondary "wing," called the Shabla Kote. Lacking in the rigid, military uniformity of the more permanent wing, the Shabla Kote are a mish mosh of any and all starfighter designs, from the worst bastardized [[starwars:Ugly|ugly]] designs to even a couple of [[starwars:TIE/D Defender|Tie Defenders]]. The Shabla Kote's pilots, too, are a reflection of their own ships, ranging from the most disciplined of warriors to the most vile of fools. Nevertheless, this wing of starfighters tend to get results, though a debate rages amongst the Mercenaries whether it's due to tenacity or insanity.

The sole prerequisite for membership in the Shabla Kote is that the pilot's ship must have a functional [[starwars:Hyperdrive|hyperdrive]], as none of the carrier ships will have them. As of the most recent count, the Shabla Kote has 52 starfighters.

By 24 he challenged the previous Clan Leader and took the title for himself. Since then the Ordo Clan has seen a new resurgence of members and power. With the promise of a chance to prove himself again he now leads part of his Clan in the defense of New Tython
<br>

'''Age:''' 36<br>
'''Height:''' 8’6”<br>
'''Weight:''' 320 Pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Green<br>
'''Hair Color:''' Brown<br>

'''History:''' Trryhm was orphaned at the age of 4. Found by raiders of Clan Ordo he was taken in and trained in the ways of warfare. He took to the dedicated ways of the Mandalorians like a fish to water. He is currently on of the few Togorians in Clan Ordo, however due to the focus of the Mandalorians on strength and victory, he did not suffer any bias due to his race. Large and powerful Trryhm was utilized by the former Warmaster for training.

'''Personality:''' Due to his size and strength advantage over the majority of Clan Ordo he had become overly cocky and brutal in the ways of warfare. He runs the soldiers of Clan Ordo hard and firm.

'''Age:''' 34<br>
'''Height:''' 6’0”<br>
'''Weight:''' 200 Pounds<br>
'''Eye Color:''' Blue<br>
'''Hair Color:''' Blonde<br>

'''History:''' Lant was captured by Mandalorians at the age of 8. Originally taken to be traded off as a slave, he demonstrated his flying abilities by successfully breaking out of his restraints and hijacked the cargoship the Mandalorians were using for transport. While it was short lived instead of outright killing him, they took him in and trained him in their ways.

'''Personality:''' Lant is overly cocky and laid back. His over confidence in his abilities has led to him never taking combat very serious. This has lead to some issues for the rest of the Mandalorian flight team.

'''History:''' Cherise has always stood out in the populace of Clan Ordo. She was never typical strong female that was so common among the Mandalorians. Instead she showed extreme intelligence and mimicry abilities. She quickly mastered several languages and cultural norms. Her brains and ability to blend in made her a natural spy for the Clan.

'''Personality:''' Cherise has always been a bit cold and distant to those around her. Her difference in statue and abilities led to her being an outcast among the Clan for a long time. She is capable of putting on the trusting face while she intergrates to the groups she is spying on but never has a real connection anyone.

'''Personality:''' Due to the fact that Baniss was raised by Kowakian monkey-lizards, he is quick, perceptive and can climb very well. He has a tendency to have great empathy for all of the beasts he leads.

==War Beasts==
{{Quote|Respect the Great Beasts of War. Honor them. Fear them.|Merc Leader Marex Holidan}}

The mercenaries have brought with them a variety of beasts of war to assist in the defense of [[New Tython]] as well as to help in the offense.

===Zakkegs===

{{Quote|Jedi cannot stop them. Often times, neither can we|Baniss A'kazz, Beastmaster}}

[[Starwars:Zakkeg|Zakkegs]] are excellent pack animals, or animals that will carry supplies/weaponry or a few troops in/out. Zakkegs are immune to most Force powers. They are tough and covered in spikes and horns and make an excellent transport animal. Originally coming from Dxun, the Zakkegs prove a difficult beast to kill as by design they have natural armor. Zakkegs are like a living transport.

Zakilla is the favorite Zakkeg of the group, he's strong, sure footed and seen many a battle. Many Forces users have tried to cause harm, confusion or fear in Zakilla, no to avail. He's usually the first in and last out of the animals and doesn't get spooked or seem to be affected by the pressures of war.

===Orbalisks===

{{Quote|They feel the power of the dark side within you|[[Starwars:Darth Bane|Darth Bane]] explains the orbalisks reaction to [[Starwars:Zannah|Zannah's]] touch.}}

Against the strong Force users that might be keeping to the shadows, or fighting from the darkness; the [[Starwars:Orbalisk|Orbalisks]] have been brought in. Orbalisks are barnacle-like creatures, native to the Beast Moon of [[Starwars:Dxun|Dxun]]. They feed off of Dark Side Energy pumping chemicals into the blood that increase rage, anger, and fury. Once they are killed, the Orbalisks kill the 'host' by putting toxins into the victim, a simple shot to an Orbalisk would be enough for the venom to be released.

Orbaslisks are on an essential suicide mission, and while their service is appreciated; no one gets so close to these creatures as to name them. They will often be given a series of letters and numbers for identification purposes, but nothing more personal than that.

===Maalrass===

{{Quote|Release the Maalrass!|Merc Leader Marex Holidan ordering the Maalrass to war}}

[[Starwars:Maalrass|Maalrass]] are small feline-like predators that come from the forst moon of Dxun; They have large fangs that come out of their round heads. Hunting in packs, they may be a relative to the nighthunters. The Maalrass can be used for tracking as well as going out in a pack to eliminate a variety of enemies as the Mercenaries would 'release the Maalraas'.'

Furrotio is the favorite, almost the mascot of the Maalraas. Furrotio is the undisputed Alpha male of the pack. He's been the leader of the group for a few years and none of the other Maalrass have been suitable to even consider challenging him for the title. Furrotio's relationship with the commander/handler is so close, it's believed they communicate telepathically, but there's been no confirmation of this.

Furrotio is practially the stuff of legends, he stands 1.5 meters high while on all fours and nearly 2.5 meters on his hind legs, With brown and green scales, he has natural camoflauge. He is a strong ferocious beast when on duty. Rumor has it that in his down time that Furrotio likes chewing on nerf rib bones and sitting by the fire.

==Planet==
[[File:OrdoPlanet.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Landscape of planet Ordo]]

=== Planet Ordo ===
Ordo was the original homeworld of the Mandalorian Clan Ordo.

==== Description ====

Ordo was mostly a desert world nearly completely barren. The limited vegetation that grew on this world was primarily on the equator. There were also limited water recources on this planet because of the harsh desert world. It was murky and filled with sand that the only way to drink the water was to purify it. Sand dunes covered most of the world with extremely scattered oasis. Very few people inhabited this planet, save for some very dangerous creatures that roamed the planet.

==== History ====

The history of the planet Ordo is a muddled mess. Because of the harsh environment, there were countless battles and wars over the limited vegetation. Because the equator was virtually the only area that was inhabitable, the few species that lived or immigrated to Ordo fought over those area's desperately. In the end, the Mandalorian's conquered the native species to build their own settlements up.

==== Inhabitants ====

Species that live on planet Ordo have all immigrated there. Most people avoid this planet, especially after the Mandalorian's took over and made it their base.

=== Former Base Dxun ===
[[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]], or more commonly called the Demon Moon, was the largest moon around the Planet [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. It was covered in primarily a large jungle that was inhabited by various species that one would not want to come across.

==== Description ====

This planet had constant rain downpour, making the planet have a usualy wet climate. Despite these climate issues, the temperature was decent and Dxun was quite habitable when one looked at its terrain. There were however, many deadly creatures that lived in the humongous jungle, such as bomas, cannoks, drexls, maalraas, skreevs and zakkegs. Because of these creatures, the inhabitants were forced to always be armed for defense.

==== History ====

After the Beast Wars, the body of Freedon Nadd, a former Dark Lord of the Sith was moved to the moon of Dxun to keep other Sith from using its power that ended well except for Exar Kun and Darth Bane. There was then the Mandalorian Wars in which the Mandalorian?s took control over the moon when Mandalore the Ultimate took leadership of the Mandalorians. This war was brutal, killing thousands in which after the battle, the Rebublic left the Mandalorian structers, as well as not being able to find the many hidden store rooms full of weapons that were supposedly put there by the Mandalorians.

==== Inhabitants ====

Mostly a very few Mando's live here on the base, the rest of the inhabitants of this moon are lone survivalist that have immigrated here for solitude that do not mind the occasional threat of a creature attempting to kill you. These are usually hardened war heroes or criminals that can fend for themselves. The Mando's do not usually see these people as threats.

=== Garrison ===

The Mandalorian Mercenaries were hired by Michael Halcyon from the Clan Ordo, therefore, their base of operations is a series of large structures built up together to form a weak fortress. The smaller structures housing useless supplies around the outer rim, while the bigger structures and more valuable necessities and supplies towards the center. The entire camp was roughly 2km in radius, square around the main tent in the center.

==== Layout ====

The layout of the camp was set as a clock face. This was built on the equator of the planet for optimal weather. There are four sections, Zeta, Gamma, Omega, and Sigma. Each section had a designated area of expertise, with the center of all three the area specified as the War Room and base of operations. Around the area was a shield generator, therefore protecting the Manalorian's from aerial assault.

===== Zeta =====

This section was designated as the rim around the other three sections. These were the structures that housed some four shield generators to protect the camp. Without these, the Mandalorian's would be easy prey for a simple bomb raid. The outer rim of structures created a boundary for their camp to and from the outside world.

===== Gamma Sector =====

This was the area that was specifically designated for the daily necessities of the troops. This had three sub sections. This housed sections from one o'clock to four o'clock. <br>

* Section 1, One o'clock was the Bunker section. This was a medium sized tent that housed the cots and sleeping area for the Mando's. There were also designated areas for facilities.<br>
* Section 2, Two o'clock was the Mess Hall. It was right next to the Bunks. <br>
* Section 3, Three o'clock was the offices were housed for small planning, not nearly as large as the War Room tent. Specific things were discussed here that were not for the Jedi's ears.<br>
* Section 4, Four o'clock was area where Quarter Master Office where the bulk of weapons (non personal) were stored with extra ammunition. This was where the backup generator was held to keep the shield up for a few minutes in case the main square was destroyed.

===== Omega Sector =====

Next to the Quarter Master Bunker was stationed, was the designated area for the Firing Range. To keep from any accidents, this area was fairly large.<br>
* Section 5, Five o'clock to Nine o'clock was the large area in order to test weapons, fix them, practice and in general test them out. The large area was big enough so that nothing was close enough or accidents to occur.

===== Sigma Sector =====

This was the last section that was designated for the medic tent and supply store. <br>
* Section 6, ten o'clock to 12 o'clock was the area that housed supplies for everything needed other than weapon supplies. The Medical tent was also here for necessity, because no matter how good you are, injuries occur.

===== Delta Sector =====

This sector was completely separate from the rest and not set in the square. This was the biggest section on the planet because it housed shops, armory stores; cantina's and most importantly, farms. <br>

* Section 7, this was a new square that was .6km away from the settlement that housed the entertainment section as well as food production for animals and crops. The stores varied between restaurants, cantinas, armor/weapons specialty and living upgrades. The farms took up two thirds of the entire area because the settlement needed to be self sustaining, the Mandalorian's do not want their location known by many, therefore, they cannot import food and other necessities for daily life. With these farms, crops were grown for vegetables, grains as well as animals for protein. In this sector, there is also a water purifying plant so that the very few lakes could be available to the troops. This way, there could be no harmful bacteria in it after being cleaned and ready to drink.
